An overview of neural networks.

  1. 1But what is a Neural Network?

    05 Oct 2017

    Introduction to neural networks.

  2. 2Gradient descent, how neural networks learn

    16 Oct 2017

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

  3. 3What is backpropagation really doing?

    03 Nov 2017

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

  4. 4Backpropagation calculusfinale

    03 Nov 2017

    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.
