Abstract:
Artificial neural networks are mathematical tools inspired by what is known about the physical structure and mechanism of the biological cognition and learning. Neural networks have attracted considerable attention due to their efficacy to model wide spectrum of challenging problems. In this paper, we present one of the most popular networks, the backpropagation, and discuss its learning algorithm and analyze several issues necessary for designating optimal networks that can generalize after being trained on examples. As an application in the area of predictive microbiology, modeling of microorganism growth by neural networks will be presented in a second paper of this series.
