Dear Anyone.
Trying to learn the basics of neural networks, which I'd never heard of till very recently and they piqued my interest. Then I found this chart about them which, to this dumbass, didn't make logical sense and I was wondering if someone could explain it to me....
Hokay. In the ANN column it starts off by saying Tabular Data, Text Data. Fair enough. Then next to Application it says Facial Recognition!! How the heck is FaciaL Recognition Text Data!?! Then in the CNN column it says Image Data. Again fair enough - till you hit the Application column again and it says Text Digitization and Natural Language Processing. Text Digitization I SORTA get, though correct me if I'm wrong, because you've got in-between formats like .PDF which are part graphic, aren't they? But Natural Language Programming? Why wouldn't that come under ANN which says it's for Text Data? And RNN. I SORTA get - it's SORTA in all of this or I'd understand the uses more - it down to Application AGAIN! Where it says Text-to-speech conversions. But ANN is the text one, why isn't ANN doing text-to speech?
Please, I've only read this table. I understand the basics of programming, inasmuch as I can use BASIC/VB/Python pretty well (NOT perfectly but not bad!) But the applications in the table just seem to be the wrong ways around - keep the answers below Stephen Hawking level, please, or I'll be forever asking clarification questions! Basically you'd be using these things as souped-up subroutines, wouldn't you, you'd write a program, when you wanted the info. Only They Could Provide at that point you'd assign your data to their variables, chuck it at them, they'd assign their answers back to your variables which would go on through your program, happiness all around am I right? Not that I'm anywhere USING these things, I'd just love to UNDERSTAND why the applications seem the wrong ways around to me.
Mods, if I've put this in the wrong forum feel free to move it. I just couldn't see where else to put it (anatomical suggestions will NOT be carried out!)
Yours puzzledly
Chris.
