A quick introduction to neural networks
In this section, we will introduce the basics of neural networks – just enough to continue with this chapter. We leave it up to you to deepen this knowledge by exploring other types of neural architectures and neural training algorithms.

Neural networks are not a new topic. They have gone through many ups and downs in popularity and are now back thanks to improvements in modern compute power. Let’s start with a model of an artificial neuron and build our first multilayer neural architectures.
Artificial neurons and artificial neural networks
The first model of a biological neuron represented input signals as a vector, 
, the chemical...
