Summary/Abstract: Introduction to the nature of machine learning with a focus on artificial neural networks. Description of the structure, elements and mechanism of their functioning. Tracking the science progress based on them. Figuring out the benefits of their application as an econometric method. Clarifying the role of specific hyperparameters of theirs. Presenting a sample algorithm for application of artificial neural networks with stages ranging from data science to building an approximating model and its tuning.
