5 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. Perceptron ✓ understood

    The simplest neural network unit, a single-layer binary classifier that inspired modern deep learning.

  4. Layer ✓ understood

    A collection of neurons/operations that process data together, neural networks are composed of stacked layers.

  5. Hidden Layer ✓ understood

    Intermediate layers between input and output that learn hierarchical representations in neural networks.
