 NEURAL NETWORK ARCHITECTURES

Neural network architectures refer to the specific structures or layouts of artificial neural networks
used in deep learning and machine learning. These architectures determine how neural network layers and
units are organized and interconnected to solve specific tasks or problems. some common neural network
architectures:

1) Feedforward Neural Networks (FNN): Also known as multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs), these networks
consist of an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer. They are used for tasks like
regression and classification.

2) Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN): CNNs are designed for tasks involving grid-like data, such as
images and videos. They use convolutional layers to automatically learn spatial hierarchies of features.
They are commonly used in image recognition and computer vision.

3) Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN): RNNs are suitable for sequence data and have connections that loop
back on themselves, allowing them to process data with sequential dependencies. Applications include
natural language processing (NLP) and time series analysis.

4) Long Short-Term Memory Networks (LSTM): LSTMs are a type of RNN with memory cells that can
store and retrieve information over long sequences. They are particularly effective in tasks that require
capturing long-term dependencies.

5) Gated Recurrent Unit Networks (GRU): GRUs are another type of RNN that is computationally
efficient and often used for similar tasks as LSTMs.

6) Autoencoders: Autoencoders consist of an encoder that compresses input data into a lower-dimensional
representation and a decoder that reconstructs the original data. They are used for data compression,
denoising, and feature learning.

7) Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs):GANs consist of a generator and a discriminator network.

They are used for generating new data instances, such as images, by training the generator to produce
data that is indistinguishable from real data according to the discriminator.

8) Reinforcement Learning Architectures:These architectures, such as deep Q-networks (DQN) and

policy gradient methods, are designed for reinforcement learning tasks. They learn to make sequential
decisions by interacting with an environment.

9) Transformers: Transformers are a type of architecture that has gained prominence in NLP and
other sequential data tasks. They use attention mechanisms to model relationships between
elements in a sequence.

10) Capsule Networks (CapsNets):Capsule networks are designed to overcome some limitations of
traditional CNNs by capturing hierarchical relationships between features and pose information.
They are used in image recognition and object segmentation.

11) Siamese Networks: Siamese networks are used for tasks like similarity learning, face recognition,
and signature verification. They consist of two identical subnetworks with shared weights.

12) Self-Attention Networks: These networks, such as the Transformer architecture, use self-attention
mechanisms to weigh the importance of different parts of the input sequence when making
predictions. They have been highly successful in NLP tasks.

There are many more variations and combinations used to address specific problems in machine learning
and deep learning. The choice of architecture depends on the nature of the data and the task at hand.
Researchers and practitioners often customize or create new architectures to tackle emerging challenges and
improve performance on various tasks.
