Before we get started with the TensorFlow Playground, let's recap the essential concepts quickly. It will help us appreciate the TensorFlow Playground better.
The inspiration for neural networks is the biological brain, and the smallest unit in the brain is a neuron.
A Perceptron is a neuron based on the idea of the biological neuron. The perceptron basically deals with binary inputs and outputs, making it impractical for actual pragmatic purposes. Also, because of its binary nature, it learns too fast due to the drastic change in output for a small change in input, and so does not provide fine details.
Activation functions were used to negate the issue with perceptrons. This gave rise to other types of neurons that ...
