Artificial Neural Network: Modeled in accordance with the human brain, a Neural Network was built to mimic the functionality of a human brain. The human brain is a neural network made up of multiple neurons, similarly, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is made up of multiple perceptrons.
A neural network consists of three important layers:
Input Layer: As the name suggests, this layer accepts all the inputs provided by the programmer.
Hidden Layer: Between the input and the output layer is a set of layers known as Hidden layers.
In this layer, computations are performed which result in the output.
There can be any number of hidden layers
Output Layer: The inputs go through a series of transformations via the hidden layer which finally results in the output that is delivered via this layer.
