Neural Network Fundamentals?

2

Before neural network, it is important to have basics of linear algebra, probabilities, few machine learning algorithms.

Then you could make sense of what a neural network architecture looks like (layers) - Imagine a set of " Perceptrons" arranged in layers. The essence of neural network is then the below 4 sets of things

  1. Input values
  2. Weights and bias
  3. Summation function
  4. Activation function

You give the model a set of input values, the inputs could be taken in with different weights based on how important the variable is , the summation function aggregates the inputs and weights (think of it like an equation) and feeds to activation function which is simply put a transformation process to give you the final output

Neural networks are a form of Machine learning which comes under deep learning. It mimics the neurons in the brain.There is a network of neurons which are connected together just like actual neurons.

  • Neural networks arranges neurons is below format:
  • Neurons are arranged in different layers.
  • Each layer receives input and passes output.
  • The output of each neuron depends upon the weight of the neuron.
  • The weight of each neuron is adjusted in the training phase.
