NEURAL NETWORKS

        Neural networks are a type of machine learning algorithm inspired by how the human brain works. As the name suggests, neural networks consist of many neurons that are connected and communicate with each other.

        Each neuron in the neural network receives input from the neurons in the previous layer and produces output which is then forwarded to the neurons in the next layer. Neural networks usually consist of three types of layers: input layer, hidden layer, and output layer.

        The input layer is the first layer of the neural network that receives input from the data to be processed. The hidden layer is the layer between the input layer and the output layer which performs data processing using the activation function. The output layer is the last layer of the neural network which produces output based on the processing results in the hidden layer.

        One of the advantages of neural networks is their ability to learn from data and make predictions with high accuracy. Neural networks can be used in many applications, such as image recognition, speech recognition, data analysis and prediction.

        However, like any other technology, neural networks also have some drawbacks and challenges. One is the risk of overfitting, where the neural network learns too much from the training data and is unable to generalize properly. Overfitting can cause neural network performance to decrease when tested with new data.

        In addition, neural networks also have an interpretation problem, where it is difficult to understand how the neural network makes decisions based on the data provided. This can be problematic in fields such as cybersecurity and medical, where clear interpretation and transparency are critical.

        Despite having some drawbacks, neural networks remain one of the most popular and widely used machine learning algorithms. In recent years, neural networks have made many advances in image recognition, speech recognition, and data analysis. With the continuous development of technologies and methods in neural networks, the prediction and analysis capabilities of data will be further enhanced, and can help us achieve higher goals in the future.
