Abstract: 

Have you ever wanted to know what Artificial Neural Networks and how to implement them but don’t know where to start? Have you ever wondered what Machine Learning is for that matter? If your answer to either of these questions are yes, then this is the presentation for you! In my presentation I will give a concise overview of what Artificial Neural Network are is as well as by extension what Machine Learning is. Furthermore I will also go through a demonstration of Artificial Neural Network for Credit Worthiness using the R programming language which should hopefully give you the ability to implement this for your selves.
