    There are five basic types of neural network architectures based on their interconnections: 1) Single-layer feed-forward networks have a single layer of nodes that the input is connected to. 2) Multi-layer feed-forward networks have multiple layers of nodes connected in a feed-forward fashion, including an input layer, hidden layers, and output layer. 3) Single node networks have a single node that provides feedback to itself. 4) Single-layer recurrent networks have lateral feedback between nodes in the same layer. 5) Multi-layer recurrent networks allow feedback between nodes in different layers.

    Taxonomy of ANN

    Based on Interconnections:

    The arrangement of neurons to form layers and the connection pattern formed within and
    between layers is called the network architecture. There exist five basic types of neuron
    connection architectures. They are:

    1. Single-layer feed-forward network


    Neural nets are classified into single-layer or multilayer neural nets. A layer is formed by
    taking a processing element and combining it with other processing elements. Practically, a
    layer implies a stage, going stage by stage, i.e., the input stage and the output stage are linked
    with each other. These linked interconnections lead to the formation of various network
    architectures. When a layer of the processing nodes is formed, the inputs can be connected to
    these nodes with various weights, resulting in a series of outputs, one per node. Thus, a
    single-layer feed-forward network is formed.

    2. Multi-layer feed-forward network


    • A multi-layer feed-forward network is formed by the interconnection of several
    layers.
    • The input layer is that which receives the input and this layer has no function except
    buffering the input signal.
    • The output layer generates the output of the network.
    • Any layer that is formed between the input and output layers is called hidden layer.
    • This hidden layer is internal to the network and has no direct contact with the external
    environment.
    • It should be noted that there may be zero to several hidden layers in an ANN.
    • More the number of the hidden layers, more is the complexity of the network.
    • This may, however, provide an efficient output response.
    • In case of a fully connected network, every output from one layer is connected to each
    and every node in the next layer.
    3. Single node with its own feedback
    A network is said to be a feed-forward network if no neuron in the output layer is an input to
    a node in the same layer or in the preceding layer. On the other hand, when outputs can be
    directed back as inputs to same or preceding layer nodes then it results in the formation of
    feed-back networks.

    4. Single-layer recurrent network

    If the feedback of the output of the processing elements is directed back at input to the
    processing elements in the same layer then it is called lateral feedback. Recurrent networks
    are feedback networks with closed loop. The figure below shows a single layer network with
    a feedback connection in which a processing element's output can be directed back to the
    processing element itself or to the other processing element or to both.
    5. Multi-layer recurrent network

    It can be noted that a processing element output can be directed back to the nodes in a
    preceding layer, forming a multilayer recurrent network. Also, in these networks, a
    processing element output can be directed back to the processing element itself and to other
    processing
    elements in the same layer.
