Luke Keyes to give introductory talk on Artificial Neural Networks at the November 5th meeting

“Hey everyone,

As I discussed at the last meeting, I plan to hold a presentation at the next Robot Group meeting this upcoming Tuesday – 11/05. Here’s a brief blurb on what I plan to present.

MACHINE LEARNING 101: INTRO TO NEURAL NETWORKS

Have you heard of Neural Networks but wanted to understand what they are and how they work? This talk will give an introduction to Artificial Neural Networks – their biological inspiration, a brief history, and a general architecture.

Then, we will walk through a hands-on implementation in Python using ANNs to detect a handwritten number from its 28×28 pixel representation (MNIST dataset).

Hope to see you there!

Luke”
