10 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. Activation Function ✓ understood

    A non-linear function applied to neuron outputs that introduces non-linearity, enabling networks to learn complex patterns.

  4. Dataset ✓ understood

    A collection of data examples used for training, validating, or testing machine learning models.

  5. Training ✓ understood

    The process of fitting a model to data by repeatedly measuring how wrong its outputs are and adjusting its parameters to reduce that error.

  6. Loss Function ✓ understood

    A function that scores how wrong a model's prediction is as a single number, which training then works to make as small as possible.

  7. Gradient Descent ✓ understood

    An optimization method that repeatedly moves a model's parameters a small step in the direction that most reduces the loss.

  8. Backpropagation ✓ understood

    The algorithm for computing gradients of the loss with respect to network weights, enabling training through gradient descent.

  9. Vanishing Gradient ✓ understood

    A problem where gradients become extremely small during backpropagation, preventing deep networks from learning effectively.

  10. Residual Connection ✓ understood

    Skip connections that allow gradients to flow directly through a network, enabling training of very deep networks (ResNet).
