Introduction To Neural
Networks
We can think of ANN as an artificial human brain system.
Neural Networks are of 2 types:
● BNN or NNN (Biological/Natural Neral System)
● ANN (Artificial Neural Network)
They can learn from their past experiences and are used in more
common everyday items than we think such as from face
recognition or text-to-speech to Self-Driving Cars.
What Are ANNs ?

● Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) mimic the brain's structure using

digital neurons also called units. These units are arranged in layers
and connected, forming a network that processes information.
● They can learn from examples and also from experience. For
example, If you show them tons of cat pictures the next time you
show them a cat they will be easily able to recognize that it is a cat.
This is also why they are used in those application in which history
of experience with the input given by user is required such as facial
recognition, text-to-speech, language translation, image recognition
etc.
 How Do ANNs Work ?
● Within an Artificial Neural Network (ANN), neurons
collaborate by forming intricate patterns of connections.
Neurons are like interconnected puzzle pieces, where the
output of one neuron serves as the input for others, creating a
dynamic network.
● The network's structure can be visualized as a directed,
weighted graph. Each connection between neurons has a
weight, representing the strength or importance of the
relationship. These weights are adjusted during training to
optimize the network's performance.
● Unlike traditional linear models, ANNs excel at capturing non-
linear relationships in data. The ability to process information
through multiple layers and varied connections enables ANNs
to model intricate relationships, making them well-suited for
tasks where complexities are involved.
Structure Of NNNs

Neurons
These are the networks of
interconnected neurons in living
organisms, particularly in the brain
and nervous system.
Facilitation
Biological neural networks exhibit
parallel processing, adaptability, and
can learn from experiences through
mechanisms like synaptic plasticity.

Communication
Neurons in BNN communicate
through electrochemical signals,
forming a complex network that
processes information and controls
various functions.
Structure Of ANNs

Units
These are the basic units that process and
transmit information. Neurons receive
inputs, perform a computation, and
produce an output that becomes the input
for other neurons in the network.
Arrangement
Neurons are organized into layers
within the network. The input layer
receives initial data, hidden layers
process information, and the output
layer generates the final result.

Connection
Neurons are interconnected by
weighted links known as synapses.
These weights determine the strength
of connections and are adjusted
during training to facilitate the
learning process.
 NNN vs ANN
NNN
● NNN refers to biological neural
networks, which are the
interconnected neurons in the brain
and nervous system of living
organisms
● NNNs are naturally evolved
systems that inherently learn from
experiences and adapt to
environmental stimuli.
● They have neurons which are
connected to each other and form
nerves.
● They can respond in millisecond
range.
ANN
● ANN refers to artificial neural
networks, which are the interconnected
artificial neurons called units in the
system of applications and computers
that are arranged in many layers.
● ANNs are programmed to be able to
learn from past experiences and
recognize something already seen by it.
● The have units which are arranged in
many layers such as the input layer,
middle layer and the output layer.
● The can give output in nanoseconds
range.
 Functions Of ANNs
Four main functions of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs):

1. ANNs excel at recognizing complex patterns in data, making them

invaluable for tasks like image and speech recognition.

2. ANNs are widely used for categorizing data into different classes
or groups based on learned features, making them powerful for
classification tasks.

3. ANNs can predict numerical values, making them suitable for

regression tasks such as forecasting stock prices or other quantitative
predictions.

4. ANNs contribute significantly to NLP applications, including

language translation, sentiment analysis, and speech understanding.
