Description

This course aims to simplify concepts of Artificial Neural Network (ANN). ANN mimics the process of thinking. Using it's inherent structure, ANN can solve multitude of problem like binary classifications problem, multi level classification problem etc.

The course is unique in terms of simplicity and it's step by step approach of presenting the concepts and application of neural network.
