Description

In this talk we'll go through neural networks, explaining them from scratch. The only background required is an understanding of Python, basic linear algebra and calculus.

Abstract

In this talk I'll be covering vanilla neural networks, recurrent neural networks, and convolutional neural networks. After that, time permitting I'll show some fun examples of neural networks in the wild - game AI, facial recognition, and prediction.
