Before you start learning about multilayered perceptron, you need to get a big-picture view of artificial neural networks. That’s what I’ll start with in this chapter.
Artificial Neural Network
An
artificial neural network (ANN) is a computational network (a system of nodes and the interconnection between nodes) inspired by biological neural networks, which are the complex networks of neurons in human brains (see Figure
3-1). The nodes created in the ANN are supposedly programmed to behave like actual neurons, and hence they are artificial ...
