A neural network is a computational model inspired by the human brain,

designed to recognize patterns and solve complex problems. It consists of


interconnected units called neurons, organized in layers. Here's a brief
overview:
1. Structure
 Input Layer: Receives the input data (features) and passes it to the
network.
 Hidden Layers: Intermediate layers where computations occur. Each
neuron applies a mathematical function (activation function) to the inputs
it receives and sends the output to the next layer.
 Output Layer: Produces the final output, such as classifications,
predictions, or numerical values.
2. Key Components
 Weights and Biases: Weights determine the importance of inputs, and
biases help shift activation functions.
 Activation Function: Adds non-linearity to the network, enabling it to
solve complex problems. Common functions include ReLU, Sigmoid, and
Tanh.
3. Working Principle
1. Forward Propagation: Data flows from the input layer through hidden
layers to the output layer, with computations at each neuron.
2. Loss Calculation: Compares the predicted output with the actual result
to compute the error (loss).
3. Backpropagation: Adjusts weights and biases to minimize the loss using
optimization techniques like gradient descent.
4. Learning Process
Neural networks learn by iteratively updating weights and biases based on the
error, gradually improving performance on tasks like image recognition, natural
language processing, or regression.
5. Applications
Neural networks are widely used in diverse fields, including healthcare (disease
detection), finance (fraud detection), and AI applications like chatbots and
recommendation systems.
