Chapter 1 Summary
In Chapter 1, we explored the foundational concepts of neural networks and deep learning, beginning with the basic building blocks that make these technologies so powerful in modern artificial intelligence. This chapter served as an introduction to neural networks by covering their architecture, learning processes, and the various challenges that arise during training.
We began with the Perceptron, the simplest form of a neural network. The perceptron is a linear classifier that attempts to find a boundary to separate two classes of data. While powerful for linearly separable problems, the perceptron has limitations, most notably its inability to solve non-linear problems, such as the XOR problem. This led us to introduce the ...
