Neural Networks: What the hell is going on?

This talk is geared towards any developer that has copied and pasted neural net code, or taken neural net courses online, has seen it work and still has no idea what’s going on.

At the next Skyway Software Symposium, we’ll have a conversation about the fundamentals of neural networks and then apply this skillset to solve big data problems. We discuss how developers can continue their machine learning education post meetup. You don’t have to know anything about neural nets in order to come away with a better understanding of what’s going on under the covers.
