Before we get to deep neural networks, we need to learn the basics of neural networks in general.
Topics to Look For¶
- Neural network structure
- Neural network computation
- Binary classification
- Logistic regression
- Gradient descent
Resources¶
- DeepLearning.ai: Neural Networks and Deep Learning, Week 1, videos from “What is a neural network?” through “Why is Deep Learning taking off?” (3 videos)
- DeepLearning.ai: Neural Networks and Deep Learning, Week 2, all videos under “Logistic Regression as a Neural Network”
Supplemental¶
- 3Blue1Brown has a playlist of videos on neural networks. Chapters 1 and 2 are most relevant to this week’s topics.
- Chapter 1 from Neural Networks and Deep Learning covers most of these topics in some depth.
- Chapter 6 from the Deep Learning book covers them as well, in a fairly math-heavy fashion.
