This document provides information about neural networks from Parveen Malik, an Assistant Professor at KIIT University. It defines a neural network as a massively parallel distributed processor made up of simple processing units that has a natural ability to store experiential knowledge and make it available for use, similar to the human brain. Neural networks can be used for applications like object detection, image captioning, time series modelling, and more. The document also discusses the structure and function of biological neurons and their equivalence to artificial neurons in neural networks.
