4 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. Convolution ✓ understood

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

  4. Receptive Field ✓ understood

    The region of input that influences a particular neuron's output, growing larger in deeper layers of CNNs.
