Neural networks have been around for decades, but recent success stems from our ability to successfully train them with many hidden layers. We’ll be opening up the black-box that is deep neural networks and looking at several important algorithms necessary for understanding how they work. To solidify our understanding, we’ll code a deep neural network … Read moreComplete Guide to Deep Neural Networks – Part 1
Neural Networks have become incredibly popular over the past few years, and new architectures, neuron types, activation functions, and training techniques pop up all the time in research. But without a fundamental understanding of neural networks, it can be quite difficult to keep up with the flurry of new work in this area. To understand … Read morePerceptrons: The First Neural Networks
“Data science” or “Big data analyst” is a phrase that has been tossed around since the advent of Big Data. But what is it, really? Well imagine working for a retail company. One of the questions you may be asked to answer is “how many chips should we stock up for this month?” It seems … Read moreBuilding Blocks – Data Science and Linear Regression
Computers are incredibly dumb. They have to be told explicitly what to do in the form of programs. Programs have to account for every possible branch of logic and are specific to the task at hand. If there are any anomalies in the set of inputs, a program might not produce the right output or … Read moreOverview of Machine Learning
