Publisher's Summary

If you want to learn about Neural Networks then keep reading....

Aladdin from The Arabian Nights had a magic lamp that fulfilled his every wish when rubbed. Today we have a smartphone that serves as a window to a whole universe of knowledge, entertainment, and even wise personal assistants, such as Siri - all we have to do is rub the screen. Aladdin’s lamp was powered by a genie, but what powers Siri? 

Neural networks. It’s an astounding concept that tries to mimic the way living brains work by amalgamating human and machine ways of thinking. 

The goal of this audiobook is to present the listener with a digestible explanation of neural networks while keeping the underlying concepts intact. The listener will acquire fundamental knowledge of neural networks through loosely related chapters that nonetheless reference terms and ideas mentioned throughout the audiobook. 

The audiobook itself isn’t meant to be strictly academic, but a blend of colloquial and technical that brings this exciting, yet eerie, topic to the widest swath of the general public. There is a lot of coding and math behind neural networks, but the listener is presumed to have no prior knowledge or interest in either, so the concepts are broken down and elaborated on as such. 

Each chapter is made as standalone as possible to allow the listener to skip back and forth without getting lost, with the glossary at the very end serving as a handy summary. 

So if you want to learn about Neural Networks without having to go through heavy textbooks, listen to this audiobook now!

Anti-technology alarmism

I was hoping this book would be about neural networks, but it was just a bunch of alarmist whinging about how all new technology is dangerous and needs to be stopped.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
