Feedforward Neural Network
Train and visualize feedforward networks with different activation functions!
What is a Feedforward Neural Network?
A feedforward neural network (FNN) is the most fundamental type of artificial neural network.
Information flows in one direction - from input through hidden layers to output - without cycles or
loops.
Key concepts:
- Input Layer: Receives raw data (features) for processing
- Hidden Layers: Transform inputs through weighted connections and activation
functions
- Output Layer: Produces final predictions or classifications
- Activation Functions: Non-linear functions (ReLU, Sigmoid, Tanh) that enable
learning complex patterns
- Forward Propagation: Computing outputs by passing data through the network
layer by layer
- Backpropagation: Training algorithm that adjusts weights by propagating errors
