Deep Learning

Intro This is an attempt to cover what I know about DL to some degree. Some stuff is very skippable, and I don’t really remember everything that I put in here, so there might be some repeating, but not much. The Foundations of Deep Learning To understand how machine learning models work, you have to completely discard the idea that it “understands” anything. A model does not read text or see images. At the absolute lowest level, a neural network is just a massively complex sequence of mathematical operations executed on silicon. To feed data into that silicon, we must first translate reality into a format that a GPU’s compute cores can process. That translation layer is the tensor. ...
