Excellent work! Once again we have encountered a lot of new terminology. We have covered the structure of the perceptron and how its structure informed, led to the artificial neuron which forms the basis of today’s neural architectures. We now know how these work mathematically with a weighted linear summation of input values, and an activation function to add non-linearity.
We also know because of the Universal Approximation Theorem, that we can stack artificial neurons together to approximate almost any data structure. This led us to learning about feedforward networks, and how to train them with forward propagation of information, loss calculations, and backward propagation to adjust weights and biases.
Finally we built our first neural network for forecasting, and made predictions on the Airline Passengers dataset, which did alright for a simple model. But this could be a lot better. In the next chapter we will take this knowledge further, and optimize our...
