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

  3. Unsupervised Learning ✓ understood

    Learning from unlabeled data to discover hidden patterns, structures, or relationships without explicit target outputs.

Neural Networks Variational Autoencoder A generative model that learns a probabilistic latent space, allowing sampling of new data points similar to training data. Neural Networks Latent Space A compressed, learned representation space where similar data points are close together, used in autoencoders and VAEs. Foundations Dimensionality Reduction Techniques to reduce the number of input features while preserving important information (PCA, t-SNE, autoencoders). Language & LLMs Encoder-Decoder A architecture where the encoder processes input and the decoder generates output, used in translation and sequence-to-sequence tasks. Neural Networks Representation Learning Learning useful features or representations of data automatically, rather than hand-crafting them.
