emp's Neural Network Tutorial



who is your target audience for this? i'm not being critical at all; there's a world of shit i dont know. what you're talking about is in that realm. should i learn it? curious.

we all have to be selective on that we choose to master.
 
I've been always reluctant to learn this kind of stuff. Even though there are some AI-related classes in my studies program, I never put too much attention to this world. Thanks, it was a very good start.

I'm eagerly waiting for the part 2.

@drave I explained basic ANNs to some people in chat, they posted how much they liked it, then I posted the explanation on WF and promised a follow up.
THIS is the follow up.

Part 2
How does it learn?
Network structure
Back propagation

emp's ANN intro - Part 2 - Lessons

As for a simple explanation of backprop - take the second answer here:
optimization - Can someone please explain the back-propagation algorithm? - Cross Validated

gotcha, by all means, carry on bro.
 
 
Tremani ftw! We've used it in one of our inhouse analytic programs.

For PHPers - FANN is another brilliant library that harnesses the NN architecture. Fast Artificial Neural Network Library - PHP Extension

The thing is Neural Networks can be quite confusing for most people until and unless they have seen it action and measured and grasped the outputs. Your excel demo does wonders there.

Thank you so much for this thread emp, you've laid it all out pretty brilliantly. I'll contribute whatever little I can should the need arise. This just might become my favorite WF thread for this year!

Cheers
 
LOL @ the funnel on those videos

Part 1 --> 79
Part 2 --> 15
Part 3 --> 7
Part 4 --> 6

So to those 6, I salute you.
