Neural networks are inspired by the human brain, aiming to replicate its functioning through interconnected units, or neurons.
Convolutional Neural Networks CNNs are specialized for processing grid-like data, such as images, through convolutional layers.
An activation function introduces non-linearity, allowing neural networks to model complex patterns and functions.
Backpropagation is the method used to adjust weights by calculating the gradient of the loss function and reducing errors.
Recurrent Neural Networks RNNs are designed to handle sequences of data, making them suitable for time-series data.
An epoch is a full pass through the entire training dataset, consisting of multiple iterations and weight updates.
Vanishing and exploding gradients make it difficult for very deep networks to update weights effectively during training.
Dropout reduces overfitting by randomly dropping units from the network during training, forcing it to learn more robust features.
Gradient descent is used to minimize the loss function by iteratively moving towards the steepest descent of the error surface.
Zero padding maintains the dimension of the input data by adding zeros around edges, helping in managing input size during convolutions.
