What it does

A neural network is a stack of simple math units that pass signals forward to make a guess.

How it works

  • Take input numbers.
  • Pass them through connected units called neurons.
  • Use the final signal as the answer.

Uses & Applications

  • A phone can recognize a face in a photo.
  • A game AI can choose a move from screen information.
  • A speech app can help turn sound into words.
In short

Neural networks are the learning part inside methods such as DQN.

Try it yourself

Teach the two-switch light puzzle

The light should be ON when exactly one switch is on. A small network learns by correcting wrong guesses.

Your turn

Change one setting at a time. Reset example puts everything back.
