Deep learning neural networks
- [Narrator] A light switch is a simple everyday object. It turns things on, it turns them off. The neurons in your brain are also on/off switches. They get turned on. And when that happens an electrical impulse travels down the axon and possibly turns on other neurons. And when you have a whole bunch of switches, say a hundred billion of them, like the neurons in your head and you get them all connected, then amazing things can happen like love and consciousness. And in data science, an artificial neural network, where the functioning is loosely inspired by our biological neural networks can also give rise to surprising things. Examples of this include autonomous cars that can drive themselves safely or medical diagnostics, where it can help diagnose diseases in MRIs and EKGs or the ability to find photos without you ever tagging them. In fact, neural networks and deep learning neural networks in particular have been…
