Feedforward

Feedforward is a process in systems like neural networks where information travels in one direction—from input to output—without looping back. Think of it as passing data forward through layers to produce a result, such as recognizing an image or making a decision. In machine learning, feedforward allows the model to process raw data efficiently and generate predictions or classifications. This straightforward flow contrasts with feedback systems, where outputs influence future inputs. Overall, feedforward is fundamental for tasks that require direct, quick processing of information.
