This blog is part of an introductory series on deep learning. For part 1 check this page.
In this second part I will attempt to give a short introduction on entropy, and an explanation on what a cost function is.
This is part 1 of a blog series on deep learning. This series is intended as an introduction into deep learning, with an emphasis on the theory and the math that drives this technology. For this blog series we will be using Python 3 and Pandas. Also, some familiarity with linear algebra (vectors, matrices) will help. This first part will be about preprocessing example data, and outlines how a basic architecture of a feedforward neural network could look like. I hope you enjoy this series!
When taking an adventure within the deep caverns of Youtube you may find a true gem. It was during one of these adventures one day that I happened to find the beautiful funk band that is Vulfpeck. Youtube's almighty machine had rightly decided I needed some more funk in my life, and Vulfpeck delivered.
Beind kind of confused a few minutes when seeing the first Vulfpeck video, I was immediately hooked afterwards. These guys have a lot going for them. One of the first things you'd notice is the solid musicianship that all of these guys have. Not to mention seeing multiple people of their group switch instruments between videos. Someone that lays down the drum beat in one video, may play the piano, sing or play the guitar in another.
Theres also something pretty satisfying in seeing how much fun they have as a group when playing. You can tell that much of what they do is partly improvised on the spot, and they seem to be challenging each other during the recording. Instead of getting the feeling these are overly polished and well rehearsed songs, the recordings they make manage to retain many of the qualities of a solid improvisation.
Hello, my name is Arent van Korlaar. This website is a place where I want to share some of my love for music and also want to share some free learning material on topics in Artificial Intelligence. To me both are an important source of inspiration in my life, so I love writing about them.
The picture in the backdrop is a photo I shot of one of my favorite places in Holland, in the dunes of Zoutelande.
If you are interested in setting up a blog like this yourself, check out this repository. I've basically forked this repository, and adapted some of its code for my own purposes.
