Hard Coded Neural Network Code

Day 89: Neural Network Revision

Today was a confidence booster for sure. I have been seriously studying Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks for about a month now. I took a few days off to design and build my blog but now I’m back.

I had intended to get back to studying Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) but when I started to look at the material I felt a bit out of it. Almost like I had forgotten the basics.

So I went back to my notes on coding a Neural Network from scratch and walked through the construction step by step. Here is where the confidence boost came in. I was able to smoothly walk through all the code and the logic associated with it. It felt great – almost as though I had a mastery of the material. I am very thankful for the detail notes I had taken which made the process that much smoother.

Unfortunately, I did not get to working on RNNs. That is the bitter part of the day. I am looking forward to learning new material tomorrow now that the necessary revision is complete. Onwards and upwards!! 🙂
