Supervised training of an artificial neural network entails training the network to associate defined patterns with specified labels. Optical Character Recognition is an example of supervised training, where each input pattern is mapped to an alphanumeric character. In unsupervised training, a neural network learns to extract recurring patterns from noisy data. One of the earliest […]
