Neuroniverkko

Neuroniverkko, also known as a neural network, is a computational model inspired by the structure and function of biological neural networks in the human brain. It is a subset of machine learning and is used for a variety of tasks such as pattern recognition, classification, and prediction. Neural networks consist of interconnected nodes, or neurons, which are organized in layers. The first layer is the input layer, which receives data. The last layer is the output layer, which produces the final result. Between these two layers are one or more hidden layers, which process the input data through a series of mathematical operations.

The connections between neurons are called synapses, and each synapse has an associated weight that determines the strength of the connection. During training, the neural network adjusts these weights to minimize the difference between its predictions and the actual outcomes. This process is known as backpropagation. Once trained, the neural network can make predictions on new, unseen data.

Neural networks can be categorized into different types based on their architecture and function. For example, feedforward neural networks have connections that do not form cycles, while recurrent neural networks have connections that form cycles, allowing them to process sequential data. Convolutional neural networks are specifically designed for processing grid-like data, such as images.

Despite their complexity, neural networks have proven to be highly effective in a wide range of applications, including image and speech recognition, natural language processing, and game playing. They have also been used in various fields such as healthcare, finance, and transportation. However, neural networks also have limitations, such as the need for large amounts of data and computational resources for training, and the lack of interpretability of their decisions.
