This project is a comprehensive educational resource and curriculum designed to teach the mathematical foundations and practical implementation of neural networks. It provides a structured path for understanding how computers learn from data, covering core concepts such as gradient descent, backpropagation, and the biological inspiration behind artificial neurons.
The platform distinguishes itself by combining theoretical proofs with hands-on implementation exercises. It demonstrates the universal approximation theorem through visual explanations and guides users in building various architectures, including feedforward and convolutional neural networks. By focusing on the underlying mechanics—such as weight initialization, activation functions, and cost optimization—the material enables learners to move beyond high-level abstractions to achieve a deep, functional mastery of deep learning.
The curriculum encompasses a broad range of technical capabilities, including techniques for regularizing models, managing training datasets, and monitoring performance during the learning process. It also explores advanced optimization strategies and the use of matrix-based operations to accelerate computation. The repository is structured as a tutorial series, offering both conceptual lessons and practical code examples to facilitate self-directed study.
