One misconception is that Artificial Neural Networks or Deep Learning are biologically inspired. This is NOT true. It may have thought as being true back in the 1950’s when the Perceptron was first introduced. However, at best, Deep Learning employs a cartoonish version of a neuron and the newer architectures are more computational elements that are very different from what a biological neuron would look like. Nevertheless, it is indeed surprising though that despite being very different from biology, the re…
