Neural Networks and the Structure of Perceptrons

A neuron is a basic building block of the human nervous system, which relays electric signals across the body. The human brain consists of billions of interconnected biological neurons, and they are constantly communicating with each other by sending minute electrical binary signals by turning themselves on or off. The general meaning of a neural network is a network of interconnected neurons. In the current context, we are referring to ANNs, which are actually modeled on a biological neural network. The term artificial intelligence is derived from the fact that natural intelligence exists in the human brain (or any brain for that matter), and we humans are trying to simulate this natural intelligence artificially. Though ANNs are inspired by biological neurons, some of the advanced neural network architectures, such as CNNs and RNNs, do not actually mimic the behavior of a biological neuron. However, for ease of understanding, we will...
