Artificial neuron
- An ANN simulates the switching abilities of the neuron body.
- ANNs use many of these threshold switching units.
- The connections between neurons are weighted.
- The desired input is wired to some of the input lines, and so is the output.
- The job of the learning algorithm is to properly adjust the weights so the output that results matches the example.
- Our goal is to produce a good learning algorithm, not to simulate the brain.
