What are Neural Networks?

AI systems inspired by human brain.

Just like brain has neurons, neural networks have artificial neurons!

How They Work

**Layers**: - Input layer (receives data) - Hidden layers (process data) - Output layer (gives answer)

Simple Example

Recognizing if image is a cat:

**Input**: Picture pixels **Hidden layers**: Find patterns (ears, whiskers, fur) **Output**: "Cat" or "Not Cat"

Neurons and Connections

Each neuron: 1. Receives input 2. Processes it 3. Sends output

Like passing a message through a chain of people!

Weights

Connections have weights (importance levels).

During training, weights adjust to improve accuracy.

Real Example

Face recognition in your phone: - Takes your face photo - Neural network processes - Learns your unique features - Unlocks phone when it sees you!

Deep Learning

Neural networks with many layers = Deep Learning

More layers = Can learn more complex patterns

Remember

- Neural networks mimic brain - Made of layers and neurons - Learn by adjusting weights
