Hands-On Java Deep Learning for Computer Vision

Building a single neuron

Let's understand how to implement a neural network on a computer by expressing a single neuron mathematically, as follows:

The inputs here are numbers, followed by the computational units. We are familiar with the fact that we do not know the functioning of a biological neuron, but while creating an artificial network, we actually possess the power to build a process. 

Let us build a computational unit that will process the data in two steps as depicted in the previous diagram. The first step will sum all the input values obtained so far, and for the second step, we will apply the sum attained in the previous step ...
