Machine, Learning, 1951 - Predictive Analytics Times - machine learning & data science news

For today's leading deep learning methods and technology, attend the conference and training workshops at Deep Learning World, June 16-19, 2019, in Las Vegas. Marvin Minsky engineered the first known artificial neural network, in which "rats" represented as lights learned to solve a maze. As an undergraduate at Harvard in the late 1940s and in his first year of grad school at Princeton in 1950, Marvin Minsky pondered how to build a machine that could learn. At both universities, Minsky studied mathematics, but he was curious about the human mind--what he saw as the most profound mystery in science. He wanted to better understand intelligence by recreating it.
