    Understanding the Building Blocks of Machine Intelligence: đź§  What Are Neural Networks?

    August 6, 2019 - By Kinshuk Dutta

    Introduction: From Brains to Bytes In our previous post on AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning, we explored how machines can be trained to learn from data. One of the key driving forces behind this capability is a computational structure inspired by the human brain—Neural Networks. But what exactly are neural networks, and why have they become so central to modern AI? Let’s break it down in simple terms. What Is a Neural Network? A Neural Network is a series of algorithms that attempt to recognize patterns in data, similar to how our brains process information. It’s called a “network”…
