In this part of the tour, we will go through what the foundation of the neural network's efficiency is. It's
ability to learn.
The neural networks described so far were only the structural organisation of the neural network. However, it
is not enough to have a nice-looking network. Every neural network with unordered synaptical strengthes will
compute some entirely uninformative results. This is because the synaptical strengths have not been adapted
to anything. If you had such a network recognise a letter, it would be the same as having a baby spell out
Interstellar spacetravel. Neither the baby's nor the network's synapses have been adapted to the surrounding
environment. As with the baby's brain, the artificial neural network has to be trained.
We will have to leave the raising of the baby to educators, we have an artificial neural
network to raise.
