Neural networks

Neural networks are a class of machine learning algorithms that are loosely inspired by neurons in the human brain. However, without delving too much into brain analogies, I find it easier to simply describe neural networks as a mathematical function that maps a given input to the desired output. To understand what that means, let's take a look at a single layer neural network (known as a perceptron).

A Perceptron can be illustrated with the following diagram:

At its core, the Perceptron is simply a mathematical function that takes in a set of inputs, performs some mathematical computation, and outputs the result of the computation. ...
