Knowledge Empowering Series – Creating and Training Neural Networks with Excel®: A step-by-step guide to selecting and developing neural networks for your applications

This particular KES deals with the interesting, exciting and highly useful, yet abstract and largely inaccessible topic of Artificial Neural Networks, with the main aim of demystifying the concepts and principles underlying its creation, training and use. Several problems can be solved using artificial neural networks, and its use sheds fundamental insight into the way our own brain functions. It is amazing how well we, as humans, deal with our external world, learn advanced topics and become professionals in our own areas, come up with fascinating ideas and devise marvellous solutions and products, but know little of the way our own body works, and more specifically how we learn and react to situations based on the knowledge assimilated over the years. This KES will surely take you a step further to understand your own thought processes, and I hope it will equip you with the knowledge to create and train your own artificial neural network to solve problems in your external world in a manner that parallels the processes in your Inner Self.
