An artificial neural network is a computing system based on biological neural networks that constitute animal brains. The most basic element of a neural network is a neuron. Its input is a vector, say `x`, and its output is a real valued variable, say `y`. The neuron acts as a mapping between the vector `x` and a real number `y`.
|
||||
To train a neural network, we need an input vector and a corresponding output vector.
|
||||
The training works by minimizing an error term. This error can be the squared difference between the predicted output and the original output.

Neural networks initially became popular in the 1980s, but limitations in computational power prohibited their widespread acceptance until the past decade.

Innovations in CPU size and power allow for neural network implementation at scale, though other machine learning paradigms still outrank neural networks in terms of efficiency.

The most basic element of a neural network is a neuron. It's input is a vector, say `x`, and its output is a real valued variable, say `y`. Thus, we can conclude that the neuron acts as a mapping between the vector `x` and a real number `y`.

Neural networks perform regression iteratively across multiple layers, resulting in a more nuanced prediction model.
|
||||
A single node in a neural network computes the exact same function as [logistic regression](../logistic-regression/index.md).
|
||||
All these layers, aside from the input and output, are hidden, that is, the specific traits represented by these layers are not chosen or modified by the programmer.
