Machine Learning allows computers to learn patterns from data rather than relying on fixed rules or models. Deep learning neural networks achieve this by breaking knowledge into simple neurons and steps, layer by layer. According to the Universal Approximation Theorem, a neural network can approximate almost any function—meaning nearly any knowledge or model can be learned from data. With this simple idea, Machine Learning becomes easy to grasp—truly ML for everyone.Event: TEDxCSTU

- 6:32Tales of the Lebanese Immigrant: the Chameleon Mindset | Tarek Eid | TEDxJamhourIn his TEDx talk, Tarek Eid explores how the challenges of leaving his hometown Beirut, navigating cultural identity, and witnessing the collapse of Lebanon forged in him what he calls the chameleon mindset — the ability to adapt to new cultures without losing sight of one’s origins and roots. With honesty and grit, Tarek shares how being a Lebanese immigrant shaped his resilience, faith, and heritage, helping him overcome one of the toughest legal exams in the world. He leaves his audience with a powerful message: that true strength lies not in abandoning who we are to fit in, but in carrying our identity proudly — and using it as a source of power to shape the world around us.

- 18:46The awe of being alive | Sae Mickelson | TEDxBrevardRemembering our inner miraculousness restores the truth of being human. Being a caregiver for her Mother, through a long illness gave way for generational healing and the power of self-reverence. Sae shares about the idea that we as a collective and as individuals are powerful beyond measure. I am a Life Coach who is a longtime practicing Licensed Acupuncturist and Classic Chinese Herbalist. Being a healer is natural for me because of my innate understanding of physical and emotional suffering. Since a young age, I was managing family illness and looking for ways to heal myself. Over the many years of my work and life I have discovered specialties and techniques as well as new understandings about healing. This all created for me the learning that I feel most alive listening to humans then looking at the individual ways they can care for themselves and the world around them, gently. I have lived a lot of places, from Indiana to Iran, but the fantastic city of Chicago for the longest. Now I am next to a beautiful lake in the mountains of Western North Carolina with my husband, teenaged son and daughter plus our dogs: mutt Olive and chow chow Mortie.
