8 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 computational model inspired by biological neural networks, consisting of interconnected nodes (neurons) organized in layers that process information through weighted connections.

  3. Dataset ✓ understood

    A collection of data examples used for training, validating, or testing machine learning models.

  4. Training ✓ understood

    The process of fitting a model to data by repeatedly measuring how wrong its outputs are and adjusting its parameters to reduce that error.

  5. Loss Function ✓ understood

    A function that scores how wrong a model's prediction is as a single number, which training then works to make as small as possible.

  6. Gradient Descent ✓ understood

    An optimization method that repeatedly moves a model's parameters a small step in the direction that most reduces the loss.

  7. Backpropagation ✓ understood

    The algorithm for computing gradients of the loss with respect to network weights, enabling training through gradient descent.

  8. Exploding Gradient ✓ understood

    A problem where gradients become extremely large during backpropagation, causing unstable training and NaN values.

Training Vanishing Gradient A problem where gradients become extremely small during backpropagation, preventing deep networks from learning effectively. Neural Networks Recurrent Neural Network A neural network architecture with loops that allow information to persist, designed for sequential data like text and time series. Neural Networks Long Short-Term Memory A type of RNN architecture with gates that can learn long-term dependencies, solving the vanishing gradient problem. Training Learning Rate A hyperparameter controlling the step size in gradient descent - too high causes instability, too low slows convergence. Training Warmup Gradually increasing the learning rate at training start to stabilize optimization.
