Artificial Neural Network focused courses = Economic Stimulation for Jamaica

Jamaica needs basic artificial neural network or Deep Learning focused courses, to stimulate economic growth. (By Jordan Micah Bennett) Humans can do cognitive tasks, i.e. humans can think. Humans can think to learn, think to teach, think to do disease diagnosis as doctors, think to translate language, etc. When we think, electrical impulses bounce around in the brain to generate thought. These electrical impulses can be seen as a type of “software” running on our brains the “hardware”. In a similar way, we give intelligence to computers/hardware, by running on those computers, brain inspired software applications. An example of brain inspired application, is called an Artificial Neural Network. Artificial Neural Networks power a large majority of smart applications today, and they’re better at doing individual cognitive tasks than humans, such as disease diagnosis, language translation, and they help to do things like detect planets, etc.
