Experts on Neural Networks

Neural networks represent a cornerstone of machine learning. These computer systems draw inspiration from the intricate structure of the human brain, recognize patterns, and make decisions by emulating the interconnectedness of neural pathways in the brain. Through layers of nodes and weighted connections, neural networks process input data, discern patterns, and generate output, akin to the cognitive processes of the human brain.

WPI experts on neural networks conduct interdisciplinary research and advance innovative applications that seek to leverage artificial intelligence for the betterment of society. Our experts can discuss how neural networks are used in deep learning systems and are applied in image recognition, natural language processing, predictive analytics, and autonomous decision-making of the technology for the betterment of society. They can discuss the profound impact that Generative AI can have across various disciplines, from art and design to healthcare and engineering.
