Q3 Module 6
Q3 Module 6
Hello learner!!! Welcome to this another exciting module on parallelism between neural
and social networks.
As you have noticed in our daily lives, we are always confronted with situations that
crack a part of our brain and we wonder why things happened that way. If we could not
identify or recognize the pattern in that situation, we could not be able to understand and even
tell what would probably happen next. This approach has become very useful in social sciences.
CONTENT STANDARD: Demonstrates understanding of … understands the parallelism
between neural and social networks.
PERFORMANCE STANDARD: Learners should be able… creates a social map that
traces the various roles that students play in the community (family members, community
leader, etc.) and rank the significance of the roles played within the community.
LEARNING COMPETENCY:
1. Compare neural networks with social networks (HUMSS_MCT12-IIg-i-3)
2. Establish linkages between self and the social networks (HUMSS_MCT12-IIg-i-4)

EURAL NETWORK
The goal of the neural network is to solve problems in the same way that the
human brain would, although several neural networks are more abstract. Modern
neural network projects typically work with a few thousand to a few million neural
units and millions of connections, which is still several orders of magnitude less
complex than the human brain and closer to the computing power of a worm.
SOCIAL NETWORK
A social network is a social structure made up of a set of social actors (such as
individuals or organizations), sets of dyadic ties, and other social interactions between
actors. The social network perspective provides a set of methods for analyzing the
structure of whole social entities as well as a variety of theories explaining the patterns
observed in these structures. The study of these structures uses social network
analysis to identify local and global patterns, locate influential entities, and examine
network dynamics.
Social networks and the analysis of them is an inherently interdisciplinary
academic field which emerged from social psychology, sociology, statistics, and graph
theory. Georg Simmel authored early structural theories in sociology emphasizing the
dynamics of triads and "web of group affiliations". Jacob Moreno is credited with
developing the first sociograms in the 1930s to study interpersonal relationships.
These approaches were mathematically formalized in the 1950s and theories and
methods of social networks became pervasive in the social and behavioral sciences by
the 1980s. Social network analysis is now one of the major paradigms in
contemporary sociology, and is also employed in a number of other social and formal
sciences. Together with other complex networks, it forms part of the nascent field of
network science.
