A neural network is an artificial intelligence technique that is based on biological synapses and neurons. Neural networks can be used to solve difficult or impossible problems such as predicting which sports team will win in a contest such as the Super Bowl. In a short and informal session, Dr. James McCaffrey, from Microsoft Research in Redmond, WA, will describe exactly what neural networks are, explain the types of problems that can be solved using neural networks, and demonstrate how to create neural networks using Visual Studio. You will leave this session with an in-depth understanding of neural networks and how they can be used to extract valuable intelligence from data.
