Neural Networks Explained from Scratch using Python

[@BotAcademyYT]

Please share this video if you know somebody whom it might help. Thanks :) edit: Some people correctly identified the 3Blue1Brown style of the video. That is because I am using the python library manim (created by 3Blue1Brown) for the animations. Link and more information in the description. Huge thanks for all the likes and comments so far. You guys are awesome!

[@walidbezoui]

WOW FIRST TIME TO KNOW HOW 3Blue1Brown Work Awesoome

[@jonathanrigby1186]

Can you plz help me with this .. I want a chess ai to teach me what it learnt kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZCxmJ-PprWoasU

[@spendyala]

Can you share your video manim code?

[@twanwolthaus]

Incredible video. Not because of your insight, but because how you use visuals to represent the information as digestible as possible.

[@danielcurrin3882]

If anyone can tell me what neural networks on my phone is please let me know. Bye the way, I've been hearing voices that say they are going to kill me, they started at Granville medical centre, and pretty much seems like everyone working for Granville county is in the know and I'm not knowing sht

[@blzahz7633]

I can't say anything that hasn't been said already: This video is golden. The visualization, explaining, everything is just so well done. Phenomenal work. I'm basically commenting just for the algo bump this video rightfully deserves.

[@hepengye4239]

As an ML beginner, I know how much effort and time is needed for such visualization of a program. I would like to give you a huge thumb! Thank you for the video.

[@xcessiveO_o]

a thumbs up you mean?

[@EagleMasterNews]

His thumb is now massive

[@Ibrahim-o3m7m]

I dont think he want no thumbs

[@abdulrafaynawaz1335]

He will be in pain if you will give him such a huge thumb... just give him a thumbs up

[@magitobaetanto5534]

You've just explained very clearly in a single video what others try to vaguely explain in series of dozens videos. Thank you. Fantastic job! Looking forward to more great videos from you.

[@ejkitchen]

FANTASTIC video. Doing Stanford's Coursera Deep Learning Specialization and they should be using your video to teach week 4. Much clearer and far better visualized. Clearly, you put great effort into this. And kudos to using 3Blue1Brown's manim lib. Excellent idea. I am going to put your video link in the course chat room.

[@craftydoeseverything]

I know I'm watching this 2 years after it was released but I really can't stress enough how helpful this is. I've seen heaps of videos explaining the math and heaps of videos explaining the code but this video really helped me to link the two together and demystify what is actually happening in both.

[@hridumdhital]

As someone beginning machine learning, this video was so useful to really getting a deep understanding on how neural networks work!

[@neuralworknet]

12:40 why dont we use derivative of activation function for delta_o? But we used derivative of activation function for delta_h. Any answers???

[@hidoxy1]

I was confused about the same thing, did you figure it out?

[@GaithTalahmeh]

Welcome back dude! I have been waiting your comeback for so long Please dont go away this long next time :) Great editing and audio quality btw Reminds me of 3b1b

[@BotAcademyYT]

Thanks! I'll try uploading more consistently now that I've finished my Thesis :)

[@pisoiorfan]

That's it! Comprehensive training code loop for a 1 hidden layer NN in just 20 lines. Thank you sir!

[@ThomasCaetano1970]

This is a great video even for those who are not into this field. Great voice and explanation of how neural networks work.

[@pythonbibye]

I can tell you put a lot of work into this. You deserve more views! (also commenting for algorithm)

[@photorealm]

Excellent video and accompanying code. I just keep staring at the code, its art. And the naming convention with the legend is insightful, the comments tell the story like a first class narrator. Thank you for sharing this.

[@eldattackkrossa9886]

oh hell yeah :) just got yourself a new subscriber, support your small channels folks

[@Transc3nder]

This is so interesting. I always wondered how a neural net works... but it's also good to remind ourselves that we're not as clever as we thought. I feel humbled knowing that there's some fierce minds out there working on these complicated problems.

[@kousalyamara8746]

The BEST video ever! Hats off to your efforts and a Big Big Thanks for imparting the knowledge to us. I will never forget the concept and ever. 😊

[@cactus9277]

for those actually implementing something, note at 12:08 the values in the hidden layer change back to how they were pre sigmoid application

[@BotAcademyYT]

good point! Must have missed it when creating the video.

[@robertplavka6194]

yes but wasnt the value before sigmoid in the last cell 9 ? precisely I got something like 8.998 If I missed something please explain I want to know why is that

[@ElNachoMacho]

This is the kind of video that I was looking for to get beyond the basics of ML and start gaining a better and deeper understanding. Thank you for putting the effort into making this great video.

[@mici432]

Saw your post on Reddit. Thank you very much for the work you put in your videos. New subscriber.

[@gustavgotthelf7117]

Best video to this kind of topic on the whole market. Very well done! 😀

[@dexterroy]

Listen to the man, listen well. He is giving accurate and incredibly valuable knowledge and information that took me years to learn.

[@gonecoastaltoo]

Such a great video -- high quality and easy to follow. Thanks. One typo in Additional Notes; (X,) + (1,) == (X, 1) -- this is shown correctly in the video, but in the Notes you show result as (1, X)

[@BotAcademyYT]

Thank you very much for pointing out the inconsistency. You're right, it is wrong in the description. I just corrected it.

[@BlackSheeeper]

Glad to have you back :D

[@andrewfetterolf7042]

Well done, i couldnt ask for a better video, Germans make the best and most detailed educational videos here on youtube. The pupils of the world say thank you.

[@OrigamiCreeper]

Nice job with the explanation!!! I felt like I was watching a 3blue1brown video! A few notes: 1.)You should run through examples more often because that is one of the best ways to understand a concept. For example. you should have run through the algorithm for the cost function so people understand it intuitively. 2.)It would be nice if you went more in depth behind backpropagation and why it works. Things you did well: 1.)Nice job with the animations and how you simplified them for learning purposes, the diagrams would be much harder to understand if there was actually 784 input layers. 2.)I love the way you dissect the code line by line! I cant wait to see more videos by you I think this channel could get really big!

[@BotAcademyYT]

Thank you very much for the great feedback!

[@michaelbarry755]

Amazing video. Especially the matrix effect on the code in the first second. Love it.

[@susakshamjain1926]

Best video of ML so far i have seen.

yes , finally I had found the golden channel thanks budd

[@AVOWIRENEWS]

It's great to see content that helps demystify complex topics like neural networks, especially using a versatile language like Python! Understanding neural networks is so vital in today's tech-driven world, and Python is a fantastic tool for hands-on learning. It's amazing how such concepts, once considered highly specialized, are now accessible to a wider audience. This kind of knowledge-sharing really empowers more people to dive into the fascinating world of AI and machine learning! 🌟🐍💻

[@maxstengl6344]

at 14:32 you use the updated weights (to the output layer) to calculate the hidden layer deltas. I never saw anyone doing it this way. Usually, the old weights are used and all weights are updated after backprop. I don't think it makes a large difference but I wonder if this is intentional or I am missing something.

[@FlyingUnosaur]

I also think this is a mistake. Andrew Ng emphasized that the weights must be updated after calculating the derivatives.

[@neuralworknet]

​@@FlyingUnosauryou are talking about the derivative of activation function right?

[@appliiblive]

Thank you so much for posting this comment, i was wondering why my model was losing accuracy with every epoch. With that little change my accuracy jumped from 20'000 / 60'000 to 56'000 / 60'000

[@DV-IT]

This video is perfect for beginners, thank u so much

[@Lukas-qy2on]

This video is pretty great, although i had to pause and sketch along and keep referring to the code you showed, it definitely helped me understand better how to do it

[@mrmotion7942]

Love this so much. So organised and was really helpful. So glad you put the effort into the animation. Keep up the great work!

[@eirikd1682]

Great Video! However, you say that "Mean Squared Error" is used as loss function and you also calculate it. However "o - l" (seemingly the derivative of the loss function) isn't the derivative of MSE. It's the derivative of Categorical Cross Entropy ( -np.sum(Y * np.log(output)), with Softmax before it). Anyways, keep up the great work :)

[@brijeshlakhani4155]

This is really helpful for beginners!! Great work always appreciated bro!!

[@malamals]

Very well explained. I really liked it. making noise for you. Please make such video to understand NLP in the same intuitive way. Thank you :)

Great explanation - Thank you for making this!

[@chrisogonas]

Superbly illustrated! Thanks for sharing.

[@_Slach_]

11:31 What if the first output neuron wasn't the one with the highest value? Does that mean that the neural network classified the image incorrectly?

[@BotAcademyYT]

Exactly :)

[@v4dl45]

Thank you for this amazing video. I understand the huge effort in the animations and I am so grateful. I believe this is THE video for anyone trying to get into machine learning.

[@bdhaliwal24]

Fantastic job with your explanation and and especially the animations. All of this really helped to connect the dots

[@Lambertusjan]

Thanks for a very clear explanation. I was doing the same from scratch in python, but got stuck at dimensioning the weight matrices correctly, especially in this case with the 784 neuron input. Now i can check if this helps me to complete my own three layer implementation. 😅

[@NikoKun]

What are you referring to when you talk about "defining the matrix from the right-layer to the left-layer" @ 2:35 ? I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious, but I can't seem to figure out what that's referring to in the code..

[@viktorvegh7842]

11:32 why are you checking for the highest value I dont understand when the highest is 0.67 its classified as 0 can you please explain? Like what this number has to be for example for input to be classified as 1

[@waterspray5743]

14:32 Where did the equation "delta_h = np.transpose(w_h_o) @ delta_o * h * (1 - h)" come from? I thought we were using gradient descent of the cost function?

[@BotAcademyYT]

Hey. When calculating the delta values for the hidden layers, we are using the derivate of the activation function. And the Derivate of the sigmoid function (h) is h * (1 - h) We just use the derivate of the cost function for delta_o which is already simplified to “o - l” here due to some mathematical tricks that can be used for the mean squared error cost function. I have to admit that this video is optimized to explain the concept and not the mathematics. To get a deep understanding of the mathematics, I’d recommend the free Stanford Machine Learning course by Andrew Mg on Coursera

[@waterspray5743]

@@BotAcademyYT Hello, I have a problem. Isn't the "derivative of sigmoid(h) wrt h" = "sigmoid(h) * (1 - sigmoid(h))" instead of "h * (1 - h)"?

[@BotAcademyYT]

@@waterspray5743 if you do sigmoid(h) you've applied sigmoid twice. Your statement gets correct if you swap 'h' for 'h_pre'. You can also see this in the code, pay special attention to line 24 and 25. Does it make sense now?

Excellent content and illustration 🎉

This was actually very good! Subscribed.

[@jordyvandertang2411]

hey this was a great into! Gave a good playing ground to experiment with in increasing the nodes of the hidden layer, changing the activation function and even adding an addition hidden layer to evaluate the effects/effectiveness! With more epochs could get it above 99% accuracy (on the training set, so might be overfitted, but hey_)

Amazing video I hope this gets more views.

[@Maxou]

[@georgeseese]

What do neurons represent? You say "just numbers" @1:39. That may be true of the input layer (pixel values) and bias. But don't the neurons in other layers represent functions?

Such an amazing video with lots of visualization. But I don't think you can simplify delta_o to "o - l" with whatever mathematical tricks. It needs to be "(o - l) * (o * (1 - o))".

[@cocoarecords]

Wow amazing

[@payola5000]

I really loved your video, it's so clearly explained. I have a kind of big question. What if you had a data frame where all the columns are related to each other, but there are different functions for certain parts of it? I'm trying to make a neutral network that is meant to understand the functional parts of proteins, in order to create new proteins

[@BotAcademyYT]

Thanks! That's a really hard one :D If there is some temporal difference in the data, you'd need a recurrent NN like an LSTM. But I think its not the case for proteins. So if they are related to each other I guess you'd flatten the data frame and use it as input. If the input dimension is too large, I think you need some other feature extraction technique before applying a NN. But I am just guessing here tbh. There might be better approaches directly for proeteins (there are surely some good papers out there because its a topic with quite some research behind it)

[@enriquefernandezaraujo3943]

TKU for this excellent video👌

[@heckyes]

Do these initial layer numbers have to be between 0 and 1? Can't they just be any number if the activation function will clamp them down to be between 0 and 1?

[@hchattaway]

Excellent video and explanation of this classic intro to cv... However, when I clone the repo, install poetry and run poetry install, it throws a ton of errors. is there just a requirements.txt file for this that can be used? I am using Ubuntu 23.04 and Python 3.11.3
