Neural Networks -- the Basics

What if we used 100% of the brain? Or better yet: what if we could teach computers to learn like our brains? This is the fundamental concept behind neural networks (NN), a crucial subset of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), that emulate the human brain In this article, I'll explain the how and why behind neural networks and look at some specific applications. To discuss the very basics of neural networks, we have to define some very basic terms. I'll explain more complex vocabulary as it becomes useful.
