Summary
The goal of the course is to introduce the paradigm of neural networks. The basic model on neuron is introduced as well as architectures of how the artificial neural networks are composed, adapted and used. The fundamental models like multilayered, self-adapting and recurrent neural networks are described.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The goal of the course Neural networks is to indroduce trends in paradigm of artificial neural networks.
