While there are lots of things that artificial intelligence can't do yet—science being one of them—neural networks are proving themselves increasingly adept at a huge variety of pattern recognition ...

Find out why backpropagation and gradient descent are key to prediction in machine learning, then get started with training a simple neural network using gradient descent and Java code. Most ...

Artificial neural networks are a form of machine-learning algorithm with a structure roughly based on that of the human brain. Like other kinds of machine-­learning ...

There are many things computers can do better than humans—calculate square roots or retrieve a web page instantaneously—but our incredible brains are still a step ahead when it comes to common sense, ...

We trained a neural network on the last nine years of Major League Baseball games. It learned to weigh large amounts of data to predict the outcomes of plate appearances more accurately than previous ...

James McCaffrey uses cross entropy error via Python to train a neural network model for predicting a species of iris flower. In this article, I explain cross entropy ...

A topic that's often very confusing for beginners when using neural networks is data normalization and encoding. Because neural networks work internally with numeric data, binary data (such as sex, ...
