Neural Networks for Complete Beginners: Introduction for Neural Network Programming

This book is an exploration of an artificial neural network. It has been created to suit even the complete beginners to artificial neural networks. The first part of the book is an overview of artificial neural networks so as to help the reader understand what they are. You will also learn the relationship between the neurons which make up the human brain and the artificial neurons. Artificial neural networks embrace the concept of learning which is common in human beings. This book guides you to understand how learning takes place in artificial neural networks. The back-propagation algorithm, which is used for training artificial neural networks, is discussed. The book also guides you through the architecture of an artificial neural network. The various types of artificial neural networks based on their architecture are also discussed. The book guides you on the necessary steps for one to build a neural network. The perception, which is a type of an artificial neural network, is explored, and you will explore how to implement one programmatically.
