4 stops · basics first
- 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.
- Sequence-to-Sequence ✓ understood
Models that transform input sequences to output sequences, used for translation, summarization, and generation.
