10.4 Neural Networks & Deep Learning (Basic Concepts)

Imagine your brain! It's super good at learning new things, like riding a bike or recognizing your friend's face. It does this because it has billions of tiny cells called neurons that are all connected. When you learn, these connections get stronger or weaker, helping your brain make sense of the world.

Neural Networks in computer science are like simplified versions of your brain. They are computer programs designed to learn and make decisions, much like how our brains do. They are made of many interconnected "fake neurons" that work together.

Deep Learning is a special kind of neural network that has many layers of these fake neurons, making it "deep." The more layers it has, the more complex things it can learn, like understanding speech or driving a car!
