Neural networks are computational models inspired by the human brain's structure and function. They're widely used in machine learning for tasks like image recognition, natural language processing, and predictive analytics. 🧠💡

What is a Neural Network?

A neural network consists of layers of interconnected nodes (neurons) that process data. Here's a simple breakdown:

  • Input Layer: Receives raw data
  • Hidden Layers: Process data through weighted connections
  • Output Layer: Produces the final result

How Neural Networks Work

  1. Weights and Biases: Adjust the strength of connections between neurons
  2. Activation Functions: Introduce non-linearity to the model
  3. Backpropagation: Optimizes weights through error correction
