title: How to determine which neurons to connect between layers in an artificial neural network?
body: <p>Say for my first input layer I have 10 input nodes/neurons. Say my hidden layer has 10 neurons as well. My third and final layer is one output neuron. </p>
  
  <p>How do I connect the layers? Is there a technique for determining the best way to do this or do you just connect each input neuron to each of the hidden layer neurons for a total of 100 edges between the two layers? </p>
  
  <p>This is probably a really basic question but I haven't seen too many concrete examples. The examples I did find either seem to connect all the neurons or the connections seem randomized.</p>
