Hands-On Neural Networks with Keras

The nature of data processing

Earlier, we discussed how neurons may electrically propagate information and communicate with other neurons using chemical reactions. These same neurons help us determine what a cat or dog look like. But these neurons never actually see the full image of a cat. All they deal with is chemical and electric impulses. These networks of neurons can carry out their task only because of other sensory preprocessing organs, such as our eyes and optic nerve, that have prepared the data in an appropriate format for our neurons to be able to interpret. Our eyes take in the electromagnetic radiation (or light) that represents the image of a cat, and convert it into efficient representations thereof, communicated through electrical ...
