Neural Networks
Definition
A computational model inspired by the human brain, consisting of interconnected nodes (neurons) structured in layers, designed to recognize complex patterns in data.
Explain Like I'm New
It's a digital brain. Instead of biological brain cells, it uses tiny mathematical functions. Information goes in the front, passes through thousands of connected nodes that each do a tiny piece of math, and the final answer pops out the back.
Real World Example
When you write a check, the ATM scans the handwritten numbers. The image goes into a Neural Network. Layer 1 detects curves. Layer 2 detects circles. Layer 3 realizes a circle with a tail is a '9'. The network predicts '9'.
