Build Your Own Artificial Neural Network Using Python
In this article I will show you how to create your very own Artificial Neural Network (ANN) using Python ! We will use the Pima-Indian-Diabetes data set to predict if a person has diabetes or not using Neural Networks.
The Pima are a group of Native Americans living in an area consisting of what is now central and southern Arizona. The Pima have the highest reported prevalence of diabetes of any population in the world, and have contributed to numerous scientific gains through their willingness to participate in the research process. Their involvement has led to significant findings with regard to the epidemiology, physiology, clinical assessment, and genetics of both type 2 diabetes and obesity. — National Center for Biotechnology Information
About Neural Networks
Artificial neural networks (ANN) are computing systems that are inspired by the biological neural networks that constitute the brain. Such systems “learn” to perform tasks by examples, generally without being programmed with any task-specific rules. — Wikipedia
