ANN (Artificial Neural Network)

Information

• An ANN (Artificial Neural Network) is a machine learning model that is inspired by the structure and function of the human brain and nervous system.
• ANN consists of interconnected processing nodes (neurons) that are arranged in layers (input, hidden, and output) to process information and perform a variety of tasks, such as classification, regression, and prediction.
• Each neuron in an ANN receives input from other neurons and applies a nonlinear activation function to produce an output signal, which is then passed to the next layer of neurons.
• During training, the weights and biases of the neurons in an ANN are adjusted using an optimization algorithm to minimize the error between the predicted output and the actual output.
• ANN can have various architectures, such as feedforward neural networks, recurrent neural networks, convolutional neural networks, and autoencoders, which are used for different types of applications and data types.
• ANN has gained popularity in recent years due to its ability to learn complex patterns from large datasets and its ability to perform tasks that were previously difficult or impossible for traditional machine learning algorithms.
• Some of the advantages of ANN include their ability to learn from large and complex datasets, their high accuracy and prediction performance, and their ability to generalize well to new and unseen data.
• Some of the challenges of ANN include the need for large datasets and computational resources, the potential for overfitting, and the difficulty of interpreting the learned features and patterns.
