Neural Networks are computational models inspired by the structure and function of biological neural networks in the brain.

Types of Neural Networks

  • Feedforward Neural Networks — the simplest type, where information moves in one direction
  • Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) — connections between nodes form a directed graph along a temporal sequence
  • Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) — primarily used for image and video processing
  • Transformer Networks — attention-based models for sequence-to-sequence learning

Applications

  • Computer Vision
  • Natural Language Processing
  • Speech Recognition
  • Reinforcement Learning — neural networks can approximate value functions and policies
  • NN-ADRC — Neural Network in Active Disturbance Rejection Control for aerospace
  • Pattern Recognition
