NEURAL NETWORK

Neural networks are machine learning models that mimic the human brain, processing data through interconnected layers (input, hidden, output). They learn from patterns to recognize images, understand speech, and make predictions. From the 1950s Perceptron to today’s deep learning, they form the backbone of modern AI, reducing human intervention effectively.

Context:

Neural networks, or artificial neural networks (ANNs), are a subset of machine learning that mimic the way the human brain processes information.

About Neural Networks

It AI systems to recognize patterns, classify data, and make predictions without much human intervention.

Neural networks learn from data. They recognise patterns and improve their accuracy. This adaptability makes them ideal for tasks like image recognition, speech processing, and fraud detection.

They work by processing input data through 3 interconnected layers of artificial neurons. 

  1. Input Layer receives raw data, like images, text, or numerical values.
  2. Hidden Layers process the data using mathematical computations. Each neuron assigns weights to inputs and determines if they should be activated based on a threshold.
  3. Output Layer provides the final result, such as classifying an image as a dog or cat, predicting stock prices, or understanding human speech.

The concept of neural networks dates back to the 1950s when Frank Rosenblatt developed the Perceptron, one of the earliest AI models. Over time, perceptrons evolved into multi-layer neural networks, which lead to deep learning models.

Why are neural networks important in AI?

Neural networks are the backbone of modern AI. They enable machines to analyze complex data, recognize speech, detect objects in images, and even understand human language.

They help AI systems learn and adapt, reducing the need for human intervention. For example, AI-powered chatbots, self-driving cars, medical diagnosis systems, and voice assistants (like Siri and Alexa) depend on neural networks to function effectively.
