Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a type of AI model inspired by how the human brain works. It consists of layers of interconnected nodes (called neurons) that process information and learn patterns from data. Neural networks are the building blocks for many advanced AI applications.
Real-world examples:
- Image Recognition: ANNs power systems like facial recognition in smartphones or object detection in self-driving cars.
- Language Translation: Tools like Google Translate use neural networks to translate text between languages.
- Speech Recognition: Virtual assistants like Alexa or Siri rely on ANNs to convert spoken words into text and understand commands.
ANNs are particularly good at handling complex tasks like recognizing patterns, making predictions, and processing unstructured data such as images, audio, or text.
