The domain of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is the foundation of deep learning. Neural networks form an alternative paradigm of computing that mimics brain behaviour and is designed to work like a human brain. Neural networks are effective in solving complex problems that require human intelligence. It is a data-driven system, and it takes a huge amount of data as input and extracts a model from the data that can be used to solve problems that involve forecasting, ...
