Quick comprehension check
“What are the three main types of layers in a neural network, as described in the video, and what is the job of each? In a neural network, what are the connections between the layers called, and what do they do? The video mentions that hidden layers perform calculations. Give one example of a calculation that a hidden layer might perform when looking at an image.”
