3. What is Deep Learning? Deep learning algorithms, often referred to as artificial neural networks (ANNs), are structured in layers, allowing them to learn progressively more abstract representations of data. This ability to learn from data without explicit programming is what sets deep learning apart from traditional machine learning techniques. 3 2

4. The Basics of Neural Networks • 1. Structure of a Neural Network • A neural network typically consists of three types of layers: • Input Layer: Receives raw data and passes it to the next layer. • Hidden Layers: Perform computations using weighted connections and activation functions. • Output Layer: Produces the final result based on the processed data. • 2. Neurons and Connections • Each neuron in a neural network receives inputs, processes them using a mathematical function, and passes the output to the next layer. Weights, which adjust during training, determine the strength of each connection. • 3. Activation Functions • Activation functions introduce non-linearity to the network, allowing it to learn complex patterns. Common activation functions include: • ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit): f(x)=max⁡(0,x)f(x) = \max(0, x)f(x)=max(0,x) • Sigmoid: f(x)=11+e−xf(x) = \frac{1}{1 + e^{-x}}f(x)=1+e−x1​ • Tanh: f(x)=ex−e−xex+e−xf(x) = \frac{e^x - e^{-x}}{e^x + e^{-x}}f(x)=ex+e−xex−e−x​ 4 2

5. How Do Neural Networks Work? At their core, neural networks are inspired by the human brain's structure, with "neurons" (processing units) connected by "synapses" (weights) that transmit information. When an input is passed into a neural network, it transforms each layer as the network "learns" to extract useful features and patterns. 5 2
