Neural Networks: Crash Course Statistics #41

Today we’re going to talk big picture about what Neural Networks are and how they work. Neural Networks, which are computer models that act like neurons in the human brain, are really popular right now – they’re being used in everything from self-driving cars and Snapchat filters to even creating original art! As data gets bigger and bigger neural networks will likely play an increasingly important role in helping us make sense of all that data.

Special thanks to Max Deutsch for giving us permission to use his Neural Network-written Harry Potter chapter in this episode! Read more about his work here.
