Explainer

Neural networks enable computers to learn from data patterns and relations. Inspired by the human brain, they process information through interconnected layers of nodes, thriving in solving hard-to-systematize problems such as image and speech recognition.

Additional Context

This week, I participated in a TensorFlow.js workshop that was a great motivation to start learning about AI. I loved the session, and truly believe that with AI being more and more present in our lives, it's so important to break down its magic by developing a basic understanding of the technologies behind it.

And for anybody who is interested in learning about AI, while researching, I found this book by Michael Nielsen: Neural Networks and Deep Learning book. It has great explanations and helped me grasp some basic concepts.
