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.
