Neural Networks – Where the rubber meets the road.

There’s a lot of buzz surrounding the subject of deep learning, in particular – Neural Networks. The foundation of Neural Networks is a software construct loosely based onhow biological neuronsin the brain are organized. So, how is it that software can “learn”? Simply put - samples of data (predictor variables) are repeatedly fed into a software construct (logic) that measures the affect that changes in this data has on the value(s) of interest (the predicted variable). These measurements are then used to update the weights that the predictor variables/values are given in making a prediction.  Want a great overview of Neural Networks?  Check out Andrew Ng’s introductory course on machine learning offered through coursera:  https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning.  For a quick tutorial see nnexplainer.com.
