Module 01 - Fundamentals of Neural Networks Flashcards
Neural Networks (Part 1): Model Representation
What is this an example of?
A nonlinear classification problem
Neural Networks (Part 1): Model Representation
Why did ANNs become popular again? (2)
- Better computer architecture (GPUs, parallelism)
- More data
Neural Networks (Part 1): Model Representation
What’s the difference between the old and new views of ANNs?
Previously: function approximators.
Now: Interesting intermediate representations.
Neural Networks (Part 1): Model Representation
What do neurons consist of? (ADS)
A neuron consists of:
- Axon (Single long fiber, output)
- Dendrites (Fibers, inputs)
- Soma (Cell body)
Neural Networks (Part 1): Model Representation
Where is information processed/stored in the brain?
Simultaneously throughout the whole network instead of specific locations.
(Though parts of the brain specialize.)
