DL and ANNs

ANNs, which are inspired by how a human brain works, form the core of deep learning and its true realization. Today's revolution around deep learning would have not been possible without ANNs. Thus, to understand DL, we need to understand how neural networks work.

ANNs and the human brain

ANNs represent one aspect of the human nervous system and how the nervous system consists of a number of neurons that communicate with each other using axons. The receptors receive the stimuli either internally or from the external world. Then, they pass this information into the biological neurons for further processing.

There are a number of dendrites, in addition to another long extension called the axon. Toward its...
