Neural networks are a cornerstone of modern artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Inspired by the human brain, they consist of interconnected nodes (neurons) organized in layers. Here's a concise overview:

🧠 Basic Structure

A typical neural network has three layers:

  1. Input Layer
  2. Hidden Layer(s)
  3. Output Layer

Each neuron applies a activation function (e.g., ReLU, Sigmoid) to weighted inputs.

📈 Training Process

  • Forward Propagation: Input data flows through the network to produce an output.
  • Loss Calculation: Compare the output with the actual label.
  • Backward Propagation: Adjust weights using gradient descent to minimize error.
