Neural networks and DL

In the history of us human beings, there are many interesting milestones, from vision development and language development to making and using tools. How did humans evolve and how can we train a computer to see, speak, and use tools? Looking for answers to these questions has led us to the modern AI arena.

How do our brains work? Modern science reveals that in the brain, there is a layered neural network consisting of a set of neurons. A typical neuron collects electrical signals from others through a fine structure called dendrites and sends out spikes of signals through a conducting structure called an axon, which splits into many branches. At the end of each branch, a synapse converts the signals from the axon into electrical effects to excite activity on the target neuron. Figure 5.1 shows the working mechanism of a biological neuron:
