Summary

In this chapter, we learned about artificial neural networks. We discussed how to build and train neural networks. We talked about perceptrons and built a classifier based on that. We learned about single layer neural networks as well as multilayer neural networks. We discussed how neural networks could be used to build a vector quantizer. We analyzed sequential data using recurrent neural networks. We then built an optical character recognition engine using artificial neural networks. In the next chapter, we will learn about reinforcement learning and see how to build smart learning agents.
