Neural Networks

Audience Persona

Definition

Neural networks are a series of connected nodes inspired by the brain that learn patterns in data.

Why It Matters

They're behind most modern AI tools—especially vision and language applications.

Real-World Examples

Used in ChatGPT, DeepMind's AlphaGo, and Tesla’s Autopilot

Common Misconceptions

They work like brains; they understand things

Technical Glimpse

Each node applies weights and activations; training involves backpropagation and gradient descent.

Try It Yourself

Use TensorFlow Playground to visualize how networks learn.

Cautions

Can overfit or become uninterpretable without care.
