Neural networks mimic the human brain to learn complex patterns from data. They are the building blocks of modern deep learning systems.

Key Components

  • Input, hidden, and output layers
  • Activation functions like ReLU and sigmoid
  • Backpropagation and gradient descent

Why They Work

Neural networks learn by adjusting weights through many small updates during training, allowing them to model non-linear relationships.

Getting Started

Use libraries like TensorFlow or PyTorch to build and train your first network on image or text data.
