- 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.
- 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.
- Recurrent Neural Network ✓ understood
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 Vanishing Gradient A problem where gradients become extremely small during backpropagation, preventing deep networks from learning effectively. Language & LLMs Sequence-to-Sequence Models that transform input sequences to output sequences, used for translation, summarization, and generation. Neural Networks Sigmoid An activation function that squashes values to range (0,1), often used for binary classification and gates in LSTMs.
