Deriving the Ultimate Neural Network Architecture from Scratch #SoME3

#transformers #chatgpt Join me on a deep dive to understand the most successful neural network ever invented: the transformer. Transformers, originally invented for natural language translation, are now everywhere. They have fast taken over the world of machine learning (and the world more general…

Why do Convolutional Neural Networks work so well?

While deep learning has existed since the 1970s, it wasn't until 2010 that deep learning exploded in popularity, to the point that deep neural networks are now used ubiquitously for all machine learning tasks. The reason for this explosion is the invention of the convolutional neural network. This …

But what is a neural network REALLY? #SoME2

My submission for 2022 #SoME2. In this video I try to explain what a neural network is in the simplest way possible. That means no linear algebra, no calculus, and definitely no statistics. The aim is to be accessible to absolutely anyone. 00:00 Intro 00:47 Gauss & Parametric Regression 02:59 Fitt…
