Getting started with ANNs

Serial computers and their programs exhibit remarkable capabilities in executing tasks that involve repetitive, well-defined operations, prioritizing accuracy, reliability, and speed. While these information-processing systems are highly valuable, they lack true intelligence. The sole element of intelligence lies with the programmer who comprehends the task and formulates the program. To achieve true artificial intelligence (AI), a system must possess the ability to solve problems that humans consider simple, trivial, and intuitive.

Basic concepts relating to ANNs

ANNs are designed to emulate the intricate workings of biological nervous systems, comprising a vast array of nerve cells or neurons interconnected in a complex network. Typically, each neuron establishes connections with tens of thousands of other neurons, resulting in hundreds of billions of connections. The emergence of intelligent behavior stems from the myriad interactions among these...
