This document provides an introduction to neural networks. It discusses how the first wave of interest emerged after McCullock and Pitts introduced simplified neuron models in 1943. However, perceptron models were shown to have deficiencies in 1969, leading to reduced funding and many researchers leaving the field. Interest re-emerged in the early 1980s after important theoretical results like backpropagation and new hardware increased processing capacities. The document then describes key components of artificial neural networks, including processing units that receive inputs and propagate outputs, different types of connections between units, and activation and output rules. It also covers different network topologies like feed-forward and recurrent networks.
