This document provides an introduction to neural networks, including their basic components and types. It discusses neurons, activation functions, different types of neural networks based on connection type, topology, and learning methods. It also covers applications of neural networks in areas like pattern recognition and control systems. Neural networks have advantages like the ability to learn from experience and handle incomplete information, but also disadvantages like the need for training and high processing times for large networks. In conclusion, neural networks can provide more human-like artificial intelligence by taking approximation and hard-coded reactions out of AI design, though they still require fine-tuning.

3. Neural NetworksA method of computing, based on the interaction of multiple connected processing elements.

4. A powerful technique to solve many real world problems.

5. The ability to learn from experience in order to improve their performance.

6. Ability to deal with incomplete informationBasics Of Neural NetworkBiological approach to AI

7. Developed in 1943

8. Comprised of one or more layers of neurons

9. Several types, we’ll focus on feed-forward and feedback networksNeuronsBiologicalArtificial

10. Neural Network NeuronsReceives n-inputsMultiplies each input by its weightApplies activation function to the sum of resultsOutputs result

11. Activation FunctionsControls when unit is “active” or “inactive”Threshold function outputs 1 when input is positive and 0 otherwiseSigmoid function = 1 / (1 + e-x)

12. Types of Neural NetworksNeural Network types can be classified based on following attributes:Connection Type - Static (feedforward) - Dynamic (feedback) Topology - Single layer - Multilayer - Recurrent Learning Methods - Supervised - Unsupervised - Reinforcement

13. Classification Based On Connection TypesStatic(Feedforward)

14. Dynamic(Feedback)Classification Based On Topology Recurrent

15. Single layer

16. Multilayer(unit delay operator z-1implies dynamic system)

17. Classification Based On Learning MethodSupervisedUnsupervisedReinforcementSupervised learning Each training pattern: input + desired output

18. At each presentation: adapt weights

19. After many epochs convergence to a local minimumUnsupervised LearningNo help from the outsideNo training data, no information available on the desired outputLearning by doingUsed to pick out structure in the input:ClusteringReduction of dimensionality  compressionExample: Kohonen’s Learning Law
