Talk description
Title:
A Gentle Introduction to Neural Networks
Short synopsis:
Neural networks are not only a powerful machine learning tool, they're at the heart of recent breakthroughs in deep learning and artificial intelligence. This talk, designed for a complete beginners and anyone non-technical, will introduce the history and ideas behind neural networks, in a fun and informal way. We'll progress from asking why humans are better at image recognition than computers, to understanding how the learning inside neural networks actually happens. We'll also see how to make a useful neural network using only basic Python, and teach it to recognise human hand written digits. There will even be a live demo! By the end of the talk, you should have an intuition for how neural networks actually work, and enough basics to make your own useful networks in any programming language, and to more confidently progress onto popular machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch. Videos, slides, data, code, guest posts and more discussion are on the blog http://makeyourownneuralnetwork.blogspot.com
