🧠 ANN Classification

This project demonstrates a simple Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for classification tasks using Keras and TensorFlow. It is designed to classify structured data into multiple or binary classes depending on the dataset used.

---

📚 Overview

This neural network is built with fully connected layers using Keras's Sequential API. It includes data preprocessing, model training, evaluation, and visualization.

🧠 ANN Architecture

• Input Layer: Depends on the number of features
• Hidden Layers: Dense layers with ReLU activation
• Output Layer:
  • Sigmoid (for binary classification)
  • Softmax (for multi-class classification)
• Loss Function:
  • binary_crossentropy for binary classification
  • categorical_crossentropy for multi-class
• Optimizer: Adam
