Neural networks are types of machine learning algorithms that are everywhere in our daily lives! We hear a lot about them in the news today, but how do they work? This episode introduces some neural network basics, and uses this information to build an autoencoder, a type of neural network that automatically learns how to compress and decompress images, and can even be used to generate new images that did not exist before!

The autoencoder shown in this video is implemented in Python on the Jetson Nano, a small single board computer with an integrated GPU made by NVIDIA! Built for embedded applications, this little board is a machine learning powerhouse and makes it easy to integrate neural networks into your own DIY maker projects!
