In this chapter we shall examine one of the most common neural network architectures-- the feed foreword back propagation neural network. This neural network architecture is very popular because it can be applied to many different tasks. To understand this neural network architecture we must examine how it is trained and how it processes the pattern. The name "feed forward back propagation neural network" gives some clue as to both how this network is trained and how it processes the pattern.
