+Dataset: XOR Problem
+Activation: ReLU, Sigmoid
+Learning Rate: 0.01
+Epochs: 100
+Expected: Low final loss (solves XOR)
+```
+
+### Scenario 3: Effect of Learning Rate
+```
+Try 3 runs with same network but different rates:

+- 0.01: Good balance
+- 0.5: Unstable, oscillating
+```
+
+### Scenario 4: Activation Function Comparison
+```
+Same network, same dataset, different activations:

+
+### Problem: Training very slow
+**Solutions:**
+- Increase learning rate slightly

+
+### Problem: Network not learning anything
+**Solutions:**
+- Check activation functions (avoid all linear)

+ ### What is a Neural Network?
+
+ A neural network is a computational model inspired by biological neural networks.
+ It consists of interconnected nodes (neurons) organized in layers that process information.
+
+ ### Key Components:
+
+ #### 1. **Neurons (Nodes)**
+ - The basic computational units
+ - Each neuron receives inputs, applies weights, adds bias, and uses an activation function
+
+ #### 2. **Layers**
+ - **Input Layer**: Receives the initial data
+ - **Hidden Layers**: Perform intermediate computations and feature extraction
+ - **Output Layer**: Produces the final prediction
+
+ #### 3. **Weights and Biases**
+ - **Weights**: Control the strength of connections between neurons
+ - **Biases**: Allow shifting the activation function
+ - Both are learned during training
+
+ #### 4. **Activation Functions**
+ - **ReLU** (Rectified Linear Unit): f(x) = max(0, x) - Fast and effective for deep networks
+ - **Sigmoid**: f(x) = 1/(1+e^(-x)) - Outputs between 0 and 1, good for probabilities
+ - **Tanh**: f(x) = tanh(x) - Outputs between -1 and 1, zero-centered
+ - **Leaky ReLU**: Allows small negative values, prevents "dying ReLU" problem
+ - **Linear**: No transformation, used for regression outputs
+
+ ### Training Process:
+
+ #### 1. **Forward Propagation**
+ - Input data flows through the network
+ - Each layer transforms the data using weights, biases, and activation functions
+ - Final output is the prediction
+
+ #### 2. **Loss Calculation**
+ - Measures how far predictions are from true values
+ - Common loss: Mean Squared Error (MSE) = average of (prediction - truth)ยฒ
+
+ #### 3. **Backpropagation**
+ - Calculates gradients of loss with respect to each weight
+ - Uses chain rule to propagate errors backward through the network
+
+ #### 4. **Gradient Descent**
+ - Updates weights to minimize loss
+ - New weight = Old weight - Learning Rate ร Gradient
+
+ ### Network Types:
+
+ #### **Perceptron (Single Layer)**
+ - Simplest form, only input and output layers
+ - Can only solve linearly separable problems
+
+ #### **Multi-Layer Networks**
+ - Include hidden layers
+ - Can learn complex, non-linear patterns
+ - More layers = deeper network = more expressive power
+
+ ### Tips for Good Performance:
+
+ 1. **Learning Rate**:
+ - Too high: Training becomes unstable
+ - Too low: Training is very slow
+ - Typical range: 0.001 to 0.1
+
+ 2. **Network Architecture**:
+ - Start simple, add complexity if needed
+ - More neurons can capture more patterns but may overfit
+
+ 3. **Activation Functions**:
+ - ReLU is usually a good default for hidden layers
+ - Use sigmoid/softmax for classification outputs
+ - Use linear for regression outputs
+
+ 4. **Training Data**:
+ - More data generally leads to better learning
+ - Data should be normalized/standardized
+
+ ### Common Challenges:
+
+ - **Overfitting**: Network memorizes training data but fails on new data
+ - **Underfitting**: Network is too simple to capture patterns
+ - **Vanishing Gradients**: Gradients become too small in deep networks
+ - **Exploding Gradients**: Gradients become too large, causing instability
+
+ ### Extensions and Future Customizations:
+
+ This app can be extended to include:
+ - Convolutional layers for image processing
+ - Recurrent layers for sequence data
+ - Dropout and regularization techniques
+ - Different optimizers (Adam, RMSprop, etc.)
+ - Batch normalization
+ - More complex datasets
+ - Model saving and loading
+ - Real-time data input
+
+ ### Try It Out!
+
+ 1. Go to the "Network Architecture" tab
+ 2. Configure your network
+ 3. Initialize it
+ 4. Switch to "Training" tab to train
+ 5. Watch the "Visualization" tab to see it learn!
