Neural_network_(machine_learning)

# Neural network (machine learning) ## MicroSim spec - **Recommended sim type:** network / graph - **Microsimmability score:** 80/100 - **Layout:** drawing region (canvas) on top; control region (sliders/buttons) below. ### Parameters (tunable controls) - `Hidden units` - `Learning rate` - `Training epochs` ### What animates A small network's weights adjust over epochs and its decision boundary reshapes to fit data. ### Learning objective Show how a neural network learns a decision boundary by adjusting weights. ## Links (Wikipedia order)  `15.ai` · `3Blue1Brown` ·
