In 6 simple steps
Neural network seems like a black box to many of us. What happens inside it, how does it happen, how to build your own neural network to classify the images in datasets like MNIST, CIFAR-10 etc. are the questions that keep popping up. Let’s try to understand a Neural Network in brief and jump towards building it for CIFAR-10 dataset. By the end of this article you will have answers to :
- What are neural networks?
- How to build a neural network model for cifar-10 dataset by using PyTorch?
What are neural networks?
Neural networks(NN) are inspired by the human brain. A neuron in a human brain, individually is at rest until it collects signals from others through a structure called dendrites, when the excitation that it receives is sufficiently high, the neuron is fired up(gets activated) and it passes on the information. Artificial neural networks(ANN) are made up of interconnected model/artificial neurons(known as perceptron) that take many weighted inputs , add them up and pass it through a non-linearity to produce an output. Sounds simple!
