General Information
Description

Neural networks are used in a wide variety of applications in pattern

classification, language processing, complex systems modeling, control,
optimization, and prediction. In this Course, We will Go, in Details How Neural
Networks Work? How do we as Humans learn. How do neurons communicate
with each other, How to do Handwritten Digits Recognition, Also Predicting
and Saving Customers from leaving the Bank. How to Classify Breast Cancer
without the Doctor’s intervention.
Expectations and Goals
