Neural networks

2017 · 4 episodes

An overview of neural networks.

  1. 1. But what is a Neural Network?

    2017-10-05

    Introduction to neural networks.

  2. 2. Gradient descent, how neural networks learn

    2017-10-16

    The goal of this video is to introduce the idea of gradient descent and to analyze a specific network.

  3. 3. What is backpropagation really doing?

    2017-11-03

    What's actually happening to a neural network as it learns?

  4. 4. Backpropagation calculus

    2017-11-03

    This one is a bit more symbol heavy, and that's actually the point. The goal here is to represent in somewhat more formal terms the intuition for how backpropagation works in part 3 of the series, hopefully providing some connection between that video and other texts/code that you come across later.
