Neural Networks

As I’ve explored the world of machine learning, I’ve developed a keen interest in neural networks. This document outlines what I’ve learned so far and how I’ve applied neural networks in my work.

Core Concepts

  • Fundamentals: I have a basic understanding of neural networks, including concepts like neurons, activation functions, and how the backpropagation algorithm works.
  • Deep Learning: I’m familiar with deep learning concepts such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks.
  • Frameworks: I’ve learned to use popular machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch to build, train, and test neural network models.
  • Data Preprocessing: I know how to prepare data for neural networks, including cleaning, normalizing, and augmenting it to improve model performance.
  • Model Evaluation: I can evaluate how well a model is performing using different metrics and fine-tune it by adjusting hyperparameters.

Detailed Skills

  1. Understanding the basics of neural networks
  2. Building and training deep learning models

My Roadmap

  1. Learn the Basics: I’ll start by deepening my understanding of neural networks—focusing on core concepts like neurons, layers, and how data flows through a network.
  2. Practice with Simple Models: I’ll use tools like TensorFlow or PyTorch to build my first simple neural networks. I plan to begin with basic projects, like predicting house prices or classifying images, to solidify my understanding.
  3. Understand Deep Learning: After mastering the basics, I’ll dive into more complex topics like CNNs, RNNs, and LSTMs, to expand my capabilities in handling advanced tasks.
  4. Work on Data Preprocessing: I’ll focus on honing my skills in data cleaning and preparation, ensuring my neural networks receive high-quality input data—essential for achieving accurate results.
  5. Experiment and Optimize: I’ll experiment with different models and fine-tune them to improve performance. This step will involve evaluating results, adjusting hyperparameters, and learning from each iteration to enhance my skills further.
