Getting Started with Neural Networks (ANN)?

Question

I've been involved with a lot of C-Programming and RT-Linux, now I want to do some Artificial Neural Networking.

BUT: How do I get started?

I'm also very interested in Evolutionary Algorithms(Learning Algorithms) and Artificial Intelligence. Where can I start learning all of this?

There are lots of online courses. I have summarized some recent architectures on https://www.data-blogger.com/2017/02/26/artificial-neural-nets-a-gentle-introduction/. — www.data-blogger.com, Feb 26 '17 at 13:57

If you're just trying to get familiar with AI, then I would recommend that you take the Stanford's free online courses:

Get a good understanding of the ML/AI concepts and play with the algorithms.

GP: http://www.genetic-programming.org/

There are many more resources online, but I think the above will give you a decent start. Also, there are a LOT of similar questions on SO that provide many useful links so I would recommend that you search for these topics on stackoverflow.com:

Neural Networks on SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/neural-network?sort=votes
Genetic Algorithms on SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/genetic-algorithm
Genetic Programming on SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/genetic-programming
Evolutionary Algos on SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/evolutionary-algorithm

I haven't personally taken the courses (too busy at work), but a co-worker of mine said that they do cover some neural network stuff. However, the class will give you a very broad introduction into ML/AI and you will learn about some libraries that have neural networks and genetic/evolutionary algorithms in them. If you want more hands-on examples of ANNs and GPs, then I will add a couple of links above. However, I would still recommend you take the classes first. — Kiril, Jan 09 '12 at 18:17
