 Artificial Neural Networks
➢ Programs designed to solve any problem by trying to mimic the structure and
the function of our nervous system.
➢ Based on simulated neurons, which are joined together in a variety of ways to
form networks.
➢ Resembles Human Brain in following two ways:-
○ A neural network acquires knowledge through learning
○ A neural network’s knowledge is stored within the interconnection strengths such as Synaptic
weight.
 Biological Neuron
Neuron fires only if the total signal received at the cell body exceeds a
certain level

★ Dendrites-Input
★ Soma-Node
★ Axon-Output
★ Synapse-Weights or

Interconnections

 Architecture of Artificial Neural Networks
➢ Input Layer:
○ receive input from outside world
○ on which network will learn
➢ Hidden Layer:
○ transform input into something
○ that output unit can use it.
➢ Output Layer:
○ respond to the information
○ about how it’s learned any task.
 Applications
➢ Detection and Tracking of Moving Targets
➢ Marketing and Financial applications
➢ Forecasting-Sales, Market Research, Meteorology
➢ Handwriting and Face Recognition
➢ Speech Recognition and Speech Reading
➢ Image Compression
 Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages:

➢ Learns and doesn’t need to be reprogrammed.

➢ Perform tasks that a linear program cannot.
➢ When an element of the neural networks fail,it can continue without any
problem by their parallel nature.

Disadvantages:

➢ Needs training to operate.

➢ Requires high processing time for large neural networks.
 Conclusion
➢ Offers more interaction with the real world
➢ Inspiration from biology, though artificial brains are still far away
➢ Process of training neural networks with current technologies is still slow.
