Explanation of Neural Network From Maximum Likelihood Estimation
From a statistical learning perspective, modern neural networks can indeed be understood as a large-scale maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) process. Specifically, a neural network is a parameterized function, and the most common way to train a neural network is to perform maximum likelihood estimation on the data.

Proof of the UAT, by Weierstrass Theory
The core purpose of UAT (Universal Approximation Theorem) is that neural networks can approximate any continuous function, and continuous functions can be approximated by polynomials (Weierstrass theorem).
