This document is a presentation on artificial neural networks given by Mohsin Dalvi to Dr. Y. M. Puri. The presentation covers:
- An introduction to neural networks, including their biological inspiration and differences from traditional computers.
- Details on the biological brain and how it inspired artificial neural networks, including neurons, synapses, and learning.
- An overview of the evolution of neural networks and their key characteristics like learning, parallel processing, and fault tolerance.
- Modeling aspects of neural networks like node and connection representations, weighted connections, decision making, and learning algorithms.
- Examples of neural network applications in areas like pattern recognition, manufacturing, and injection molding.
