Week 7 (ANN)
Week 7 (ANN)
• Cell Body
• Information processing happens in a cell body. These take in all the information coming from the
different dendrites and process that information.
• Axon
• It sends the output signal to another neuron for the flow of information. Here, each of the flanges
connects to the dendrite or the hairs on the next one.
Artificial Neural
Network
• The term "Artificial neural network"
refers to a biologically inspired sub-field
of artificial intelligence modeled after the
brain. An Artificial neural network is
usually a computational network based
on biological neural networks that
construct the structure of the human
brain.
ANN – Three Types of
Layers
How an ANN replicates a
biological neuron.
ANN work?¶
• We have an input layer which is the data
we provide to the ANN. We have the
hidden layers, which is where the magic
happens. Lastly, we have the output layer,
which is where the finished computations
of the network are placed for us to use.¶
• When the result is out it is compared to the actual value and a back
propagation algorithm comes into play to adjust the weights of the network
linkages to better the result.
Activation Function
• An activation function in a neural network determines which neurons are
activated as information moves through the network. It uses mathematical
operations to decide if a neuron's input is important for prediction.
What Are Activation Functions?
