Artificial Neural Network (ANN)

An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a computing system designed to simulate the structure and function of biological neural networks found in animal brains. It consists of interconnected "neurons" (nodes) organized into layers: an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer. Each connection between neurons has an associated "weight," which represents the strength or importance of that connection, and information flows through the network, undergoing transformations at each node, mimicking how biological neurons process and transmit signals.
