The Essential Main Ideas of Neural Networks

Neural Networks are one of the most popular Machine Learning algorithms, but they are also one of the most poorly understood. Everyone says Neural Networks are "black boxes", but that's not true at all. In this video I break each piece down and show how it works, step-by-step, using simple mathematics that is still true to the algorithm. By the end of this video you will have a deep understanding of what Neural Networks do.

I am a professor in computer science, and did my dissertation on Bayesian methods in AI, and I will say that this is the best explanation of neural networks I have ever seen. It does no hand-waving, and makes no assumptions about the viewer's math skills. Coming late to the CS party in my 20s, and not being from a strong math background, I can really appreciate this approach. I will be using this video series in my Intelligent Systems class. Thank you.

[@DrRiq]

I think the novel value of this video (for me) is that it helps bridge the gap left with 3Blue1Brown's video where he intuites what the NN may be doing, but then reveals that it actually appears random and chaotic, without the sense of order we initially assumed to make sense of it. This video explains that although the particular weights and biases may appear random at first glance, it is through their summation/cancellation that an order emerges. Also, kudos for introducing a new beginner example -- I genuinely did not realise that there were other applications outside of image recognition lol (I am a beginner to this!). As in, yes it's easy for us to look at the simple data and say 'hurr durr why not just model it with a quadratic equation'; but here is a different way to derive values to fit the data on the graph. Which was new to me, so, thanks!

Thanks again for yet another great series of videos Josh, I've covered the basics of neural networks in detail during my masters coursework and went through quite a number of resources (including the ones you've looked at which were recommended by my lecturer) to get somewhat of a grasp on it. Imho yet again for another key stat/ ml topic yours proves to be clearest and easiest to follow while being entertaining especially with the incremental 3 part video approach to backpropagation and step-by-step calculations at each step. (Which similarly proved invaluable in your works in gradient descent). The series deserves so many more views, my gut feel is that these view numbers are going to go up when semesters get back in session? Have a great 2021 Josh and stay safe!
