00:00 - Opening Google Colab
00:24 - Write your first line of code
02:08 - Create your first matrix
04:32 - What is a 'classifier' NN
06:20 - The 'weights' matrix
08:55 - Compute your first dot product
11:04 - Generate a dummy output

Neural networks simplified and made easy, for the layperson (or medical practitioner). I've tried to keep things simple, and provide a beginner's introduction to machine learning and neural networks. By the end of this series, you'll have created your first complete and functioning artificial neural network, written in Google Colab. I recommend listening on 1.5 or 2x speed.

This technology will be all throughout medical practise in the years to come, so its definitely worth trying to get your head around.
