Anatomy of a linear neuron

A neuron is the most granular unit in a neural network. Let's look at the second word of "neural network." A network is nothing but a set of vertices (also called nodes) whose edges are connected to each other. In the case of a neural network, neurons serve as the nodes. Let's consider the following neural network architecture and try to dissect it piece by piece:

What we can see in the preceding diagram is a neural network with two hidden layers (in a neural network, a layer is a set of neurons) with a single output. In fact, this is called a two-layer neural network. The neural network consists of the following: ...
