Neural Networks

Neural Networks are machine learning systems designed to imitate that of the human brain, and more specifically, the network of neurons we use to learn and process information. Neural networks learn and improve over time as more data is introduced. They can be used to classify and predict data at a high velocity and make data processing and data prediction wildly efficient.

Tech Kits

Tech Kits are part of the walk-in service provided by Innovate Labs. There are three levels of difficulty meant for different users and their experience with the different technologies. Many of the Tech Kits build off each other as you progress.

Beginner

Introduction to Neural Networks

Length: 30 Minutes

Description: Neural networks are a type of computer system inspired by how the human brain processes information, using layers of connected nodes to recognize patterns and make decisions. They are widely used in emerging technologies such as image recognition, language translation, and predictive analytics, where the system learns from large amounts of data to improve accuracy over time. By mimicking the way humans learn from experience, neural networks provide practical applications in areas like healthcare, business, and everyday tools such as voice assistants, making them a foundational concept in modern artificial intelligence.

Intermediate

Standard Neural Networks with Keras

Length: 45 Minutes

Description: Neural networks are computer systems inspired by how the human brain processes information, built from layers of connected nodes that learn patterns in data. Using tools like Keras, a popular framework, these networks can be trained to recognize images, understand language, or make predictions by adjusting their internal connections through repeated practice. In practical terms, they power everyday technologies such as voice assistants, recommendation systems, and medical image analysis, offering a way to transform large amounts of raw data into meaningful insights through structured learning processes.

Advanced

Predicting Images with Keras

Length: 60 Minutes

Description: Keras is a tool that helps computers learn to recognize patterns in images by using a type of artificial intelligence called deep learning. It works by building layered models that can process visual data, such as pictures of animals or objects, and gradually improve their accuracy through training. This technology is widely used in practical applications like medical imaging, where it can assist in identifying diseases from scans, or in everyday tools such as photo apps that categorize pictures. By combining simple design with powerful capabilities, Keras makes complex image prediction tasks more approachable for real-world use.
