5: Neural Networks

Date: 13th November 2024

🚀 Exciting news! This week, we're embarking on a thrilling journey into the world of Deep Learning with our first tutorial on Neural Networks (NN)! 🧠 We'll kick things off by exploring the basic building blocks of these powerful models: the neurons. 🎇 Get ready to unravel the mysteries of activation functions that determine how each neuron responds and the crucial role of loss in guiding our model's learning process. 📈 As we venture further, you'll discover how the forward pass calculates the outputs of our model, and how backwards propagation works to refine the parameters iteratively. 🎨 The real beauty of NN lies in their ability to process unstructured data like images, learning to recognize intricate patterns for tasks such as image recognition - but we'll save that excitement for next time! 🚀
