How Are Neural Networks Being Used in Real-Life?

A neural network is extensively applied in those areas where the traditional computer doesn’t work well. These are being used in the areas where you want the system to learn,  adapt, and change the results in accordance with the data provided.

The neural network model also finds its applications where the data is incomplete or noisy.

They work in the way our brain does so they can learn and adapt. Neural networks can form the basis and have applications in artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithms.

AI gives computers the ability to think, learn and adapt. There are numerous ways in which it is used in many areas, e.g. social sites, e-commerce applications, finance and even the smart assistant of our phone. Anything that makes machine learning is deploying one or other type of neural network. Let’s glance through some of the applications now:

Social Media Platforms

The social media site has access to unlimited data, and these platforms are making the best use of it. They are offering great features.

Facebook

When you upload any image to the profile, the service highlights the faces and prompts the tagging. With the use of AI, it identifies the friends in the photo. The platform is investing heavily in the application of Neural Network to advance its facial recognition software. The site has an AI initiative that uses deep neural networks such as DeepText.

Instagram

The platforms make use of deep learning to make use of a connection of neural networks to identify the context where emoji can be used. The site recognizes the sentiments behind the emojis and auto-suggests emojis and emoji related hashtags.

Pinterest

The platforms make use of computer vision. It is the application of Neural Networks that allows the machines to see as human beings. With the help of the vision, the machines can identify objects (termed as pins) in the images and then recommend the similar pins. Other applications include spam prevention, search, and discovery, ad-performance and monetization and email marketing.

E-Commerce Applications

If you have been buying from the popular online stores, you would have found yourself in the situations where you are out to purchase few items but ended up buying a lot more than what you have planned for. It is due to the useful recommendations provided on the platforms.

Neural networks are behind these recommendations. With the use of the neural network and its learnings, the e-commerce companies are creating the AI systems that allow you to know better than what you about yourself.

Search

When you search for any product in the Amazon, it gives you a list of the most relevant products that match your search in no time. The site says that its algorithms learn automatically to combine many features. The technology also combines various features and uses past patterns and adapts to what is essential for the customer.

Recommendations

The site also gives recommendations. It says the customer who viewed this item also viewed or the customers who bought this item also bought. The site also provides the recommendations on the homepage, on the bottom of the item pages and even through the emails. The website makes use of artificial neural networks to train its algorithms and the behavior of its users. It helps the site in providing even better recommendations that have an even higher chance of a conversion.

Finally,

The neural network model has applications in almost every industry that generates a huge amount of data. Whether it is banks or financial institutions, they all can benefit from it.
