Intelligent species are capable of doing magnificent things mainly due to their Central Nervous System (CNS). The CNS is responsible for the low-level and high-level processing of information available in its surroundings. (Artificial) Neural Networks (ANNs) are an effort to replicate, in a machine, the type of processing the CNS carries out, and Deep (Artificial) Neural Networks (DNNs) achieve so by capturing complex
