#87: Artificial neural networks: imitating human brain to solve problems like humans

An artificial neural network is a computer algorithm somewhat inspired by our brains. Superficially, our brain is a network of neurons connected with each other and communicating via electrical impulses. Artificial intelligence experts implemented a similar concept purely in software. An artificial neuron is basically a function that takes a set of inputs and has an output. Just like the biological one. By connecting hundreds of such neurons in a network, we can observe quite intelligent behaviours. For example, artificial neural networks can recognize what’s in the image. Or quite the opposite - generate images from text. Read more: https://nurkiewicz.com/87 Get the new episode straight to your mailbox: https://nurkiewicz.com/newsletter

Om Podcasten

Podcast for developers, testers, SREs... and their managers. I explain complex and convoluted technologies in a clear way, avoiding buzzwords and hype. Never longer than 4 minutes and 16 seconds. Because software development does not require hours of lectures, dev advocates' slide decks and hand waving. For those of you, who want to combat FOMO, while brushing your teeth. 256 seconds is plenty of time. If I can't explain something within this time frame, it's either too complex, or I don't understand it myself. By Tomasz Nurkiewicz. Java Champion, CTO, trainer, O'Reilly author, blogger
