Ever wonder how all those lists of websites can come up so quickly when you do a Google search? What about how Amazon knows exactly what to recommend to you every time you visit their website? And what about how Netflix can choose a list of shows that suit your taste perfectly?

A machine capable of learning is already here, it is real and it is exciting. Many may not be aware of it but it is already an important role in our lives in many ways. How these computers are capable of doing all of these things is the subject of this book.

Using this book as a guide, we'll come to understand how the art of neural networks has made it possible for computer science to turn in a whole new direction, opening the doors to an amazing new era of technology. Through the pages of this book you'll learn:

• About algorithms and how they work
  
• The basic concepts behind neural networks
  
• The basic architecture of a neural network
  
• The different technical aspects of these programs
  
• The different types of neural networks

Even as a novice in this industry, you'll understand the basics of what neural networks are, how they work, and the many tasks you can apply them to.

You'll also learn how they are already used today in our lives and what we can expect to see in the very near future. We're sure that by the time you reach the end of this book, you'll be full of ideas and fired up to learn even more in the future.
