3 stops · basics first
  1. Machine Learning ✓ understood

    Building systems that learn patterns from data instead of following hand-written rules, getting better at a task as they see more examples.

  2. Neural Network ✓ understood

    A model built from layers of simple units, each taking a weighted sum of its inputs and applying a nonlinearity; training adjusts the weights so the whole stack maps inputs to useful outputs.

  3. Convolution ✓ understood

    A mathematical operation that applies filters/kernels to input data to extract features like edges, textures, and patterns.

  4. Depthwise Separable Convolution · you are here ✓ understood
