========== Last video I laid out the structure of a neural network I'll give a quick recap here just so that it's fresh in our minds And then I have two main goals for this video. The first is to introduce the idea of gradient descent, which underlies not only how neural networks learn, but how a lot of other machine learning works as well Then after that we're going to dig in a little more to how this particular network performs And what those hidden layers of neurons end up actually looking for As a reminder our goal here is the classic example of handwritten digit recognition the hello world of neural networks these digits are rendered on a 28 by 28 pixel grid each pixel with some grayscale value between 0 & 1 those are what determine the activations of 784 neurons in the input layer of the network and Then the act...
