Assessment of the Need for Students to Learn Neural Networks: Training Specialists for the Modern Labor Market

The article analyzes the need for students to learn how to work with neural networks based on a comparative analysis of the Russian and American labor markets. For a detailed consideration of the problem, a sociological survey was conducted among 148 students of the Omsk branch of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation in various fields of study. Training in neural networks for further use in professional activities was considered necessary by 92.5% of respondents.
