Neural Networks and Deep Learning: A Textbook

30 minutes

Provides an extensive overview of neural networks and deep learning, beginning with fundamental concepts like single-layer and multilayer networks, activation functions, and loss functions, including the perceptron criterion and logistic regression. It explores advanced architectures such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for sequence modeling, highlighting challenges like vanishing and exploding gradients and solutions like Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. The source further details convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image processing, covering topics like filters, pooling, and specific architectures like AlexNet, GoogLeNet, and ResNet. Finally, it introduces reinforcement learning, discussing concepts like Q-learning and policy gradients, and advanced topics such as attention mechanisms, neural Turing machines, and generative adversarial networks (GANs), emphasizing practical aspects like GPU acceleration, hyperparameter tuning, and regularization techniques like dropout and autoencoders.
