We now shift from our discussion of simple linear models to neural networks. Neural networks are a class of models that go beyond linear classifiers. Recall that the three main components of a machine ...

Abstract: In this chapter, we introduce concepts of machine learning that help us build an intuition for understanding the nuts and bolts of neural networks. We introduced linear regression and ...

Abstract: Neural models have been employed in many Information Retrieval scenarios, including ad-hoc retrieval, recommender systems, multi-media search, and even conversational systems that generate ...

Artificial neural networks are inspired by the early models of sensory processing by the brain. An artificial neural network can be created by simulating a network of model neurons in a computer.
