==Why are Hidden Layers Important?==
==Why are Hidden Layers Important?==
Hidden layers enable neural networks to learn and represent complex relationships between input and output data. In essence, hidden layers act as [[feature]] detectors, recognizing important aspects of input data that influence prediction [[accuracy]]. Each hidden layer in a neural network can learn to represent [[higher-level feature]]s of input data based on the [[lower-level feature]]s learned in previous layers.
Hidden layers enable neural networks to learn and represent complex relationships between input data and output data ([[label]]). In essence, hidden layers act as [[feature]] detectors, recognizing important aspects of input data that influence prediction [[accuracy]]. Each hidden layer in a neural network can learn to represent [[higher-level feature]]s of input data based on the [[lower-level feature]]s learned in previous layers.


[[Image recognition]] [[tasks]] often begin with multiple hidden layers that learn to detect [[edges]] and [[corners]] in an image, while the second hidden layer learns more complex [[shapes]] like circles or rectangles. Finally, the final output layer uses these features to make a prediction about what object is present in the picture.

Training a neural network with hidden layers involves adjusting the [[weights]] and [[biases]] of nodes within each layer to minimize the difference between predicted output and actual output. This is typically accomplished using an optimization algorithm like gradient descent, which alters weights and biases according to the steepest descent of the loss function.

During training, a neural network learns to adjust the weights and biases of nodes within each hidden layer to represent increasingly complex patterns in data. As such, training a neural network with multiple hidden layers can be computationally expensive and necessitate large amounts of training data.

A hidden layer is like a secret room inside an enormous house. From outside, we can only see its front door (input layer) and windows (output layer), but what lies within is invisible - that's where the hidden layer exists. Although not easily seen, its presence helps the house understand more about what lies outside, just as how neural networks benefit from having more knowledge about their environment.
