About this listen
Do you want to understand neural networks and learn everything about them but it looks like it is an exclusive club? Are you fascinated by artificial intelligence but you think that it would be too difficult for you to learn?
If you think that neural networks and artificial intelligence are the present and, even more, the future of technology, and you want to be part of it…well you are in the right place, and you are looking at the right book.
If you are reading these lines you have probably noticed this: Artificial Intelligence is all around you. Your smartphone that suggests you the next word you want to type, your Netflix account that recommends you the series you may like or Spotify’s personalized playlists. This is how machines are learning from you in everyday life.
Either if you want to start your own AI enterprise, to empower your business or to work in the greatest and most innovative companies, Artificial Intelligence is the future, and neural networks programming is the skill you want to have.
The good news is that there is no exclusive club, you can easily (if you commit, of course) learn how to program and use neural networks, and to do that Neural Networks for Beginners is the perfect way.
With this book you will discover:
- Types and components of neural networks
- The smartest way to approach neural network programming
- Why algorithms are your friends
- The “three Vs” of Big Data (plus two new Vs)
- How machine learning will help you making predictions
- The three most common problems with neural networks and how to overcome them
Even if you don’t know anything about programming, neural networks is the perfect place to start now. Still, if you already know about programming but not about how to do it in artificial intelligence, neural networks are the next thing you want to learn. And Neural Networks for Beginners is the best way to do it.

How does a neural network become a brain? While neurobiologists investigate how nature accomplishes this feat, computer scientists interested in AI strive to achieve this through technology. The Self-Assembling Brain tells the stories of both fields, exploring the historical and modern approaches taken by the scientists pursuing answers to the quandary: What information is necessary to make an intelligent neural network? As Peter Robin Hiesinger argues, "the information problem" underlies both fields.

AI will be the defining development of the 21st century. Within two decades, aspects of daily human life will be unrecognizable. AI will generate unprecedented wealth, revolutionize medicine and education through human-machine symbiosis, and create brand-new forms of communication and entertainment. In liberating us from routine work, however, AI will also challenge the organizing principles of our economic and social order.

Story
For all of neuroscience's advances, we've made little progress on its biggest question: How do simple cells in the brain create intelligence? Jeff Hawkins and his team discovered that the brain uses map-like structures to build a model of the world - not just one model, but hundreds of thousands of models of everything we know. This discovery allows Hawkins to answer important questions about how we perceive the world, why we have a sense of self, and the origin of high-level thought.

Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control.

Today's "machine-learning" systems, trained by data, are so effective that we've invited them to see and hear for us - and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. Systems cull résumés until, years later, we discover that they have inherent gender biases. Algorithms decide bail and parole - and appear to assess black and white defendants differently. We can no longer assume that our mortgage application, or even our medical tests, will be seen by human eyes. And autonomous vehicles on our streets can injure or kill.

Along the way, she introduces the dominant methods of modern AI and machine learning, describing cutting-edge AI programs, their human inventors, and the historical lines of thought that led to recent achievements.

Story
What is economic growth? And why, historically, has it occurred in only a few places? Previous efforts to answer these questions have focused on institutions, geography, finances, and psychology. But according to MIT's anti-disciplinarian César Hidalgo, understanding the nature of economic growth demands transcending the social sciences and including the natural sciences of information, networks, and complexity. To understand the growth of economies, Hidalgo argues, we first need to understand the growth of order.

Story
We are living in a world in which cows send texts to farmers when they're in heat, where the most valuable real estate in New York City houses computers, not people, and some of humanity's greatest works are created by crowds, not individuals. We are in the midst of a networking revolution - set to transform the way we access the world's information and the way we connect with one another. Studying biological systems is perhaps the best way to understand such networks, and nature has a lesson for us if we care to listen: Bigger is rarely better in the long run.

We are living through a revolution in machine learning-powered AI that shows no signs of slowing down. This technology is based on relatively simple mathematical ideas, some of which go back centuries, including linear algebra and calculus, the stuff of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century mathematics. It took the birth and advancement of computer science and the kindling of 1990s computer chips designed for video games to ignite the explosion of AI that we see today. In this enlightening book, Anil Ananthaswamy explains the fundamental math behind machine learning.

This is an excellent audio-book !
It was so interesting learning these things the public wasn’t aware of at the time. This audio-book is so well decorated and captivating, I finished it in two days because I couldn’t put it down! I relate so much to her story and it helps knowing we’re really all the same deep down.
