Neural Network FAQ - How Does It Work?

A Guide for the Confused

What is a Neural Network?

A Neural Network is a bunch of interconnected nodes that kinda sorta do stuff. Think of it like a bunch of neurons in your brain, but without the whole 'thinking' thing.

How do Neural Networks Learn?

We use a process called backpropagation. It's like when you're stuck in traffic and you just keep going back the same way 'cause you're not really sure where you're going, but it's kinda sorta working, right?

Can I Train a Neural Network Myself?

Uh, yeah, I guess. But don't expect it to be like that one time you trained your goldfish to do tricks, it's not that easy. Or is it?
