Computers Come Alive: Neural Networks Explained

This is a submission for DEV Computer Science Challenge v24.06.12: One Byte Explainer.

Explainer

Imagine consistently learning from your mistakes.

Neural Networks are a bit like your brain pulled apart to its simplest parts—developing understanding through linked components (neurons), iterating over itself, and using recollection to improve at a task.

Additional Context

NN's are an integral part of the development of artificial intelligence through the subfield of deep learning.

Interestingly, they present a way that we can tackle hard challenges by taking inspiration from our own methods of cognition; hopefully leveraging computation to accelerate technological process.
