Neural Networks Explained - Machine Learning Tutorial for Beginners

If you know nothing about how a neural network works, this is the video for you! I've worked for weeks to find ways to explain this in a way that is easy to understand for beginners.

Machine learning and neural networks are awesome. This video provides beginners with an easy tutorial explaining how a neural network works - what math is involved, and a step by step explanation of how the data moves through the network.

The example used will be a feed forward neural network with back propagation. It explains the difference between linear and non linear data, the importance of the activation function, learning rate, and momentum configurations.

This is exactly how I like to learn. Only a few people explain as clear as you. My professor just shows us math stuff that seem scary. Most professors are like that (screw them). Thank you so much!

I hope some day they invent a neural network that is able to explain in a simple way what neural networks are. We're obviously not there yet.

This is a great tutorial for those who have some background in what a neural network is, have some knowledge of the technical terms used and are aware of the overall objective of a neural network.

For absolute beginners, this may not be the best place to start. Perhaps you can make a tutorial on what a neural network does. Like how a marketing guy would pitch it to a non technical client?

Very math-free explanation and it is very helpful to pick up the basics. Nice job!

I have read into this and watched several videos to help explain this really intricate topic. However, the only part I still really struggle in is, “Why do the equations work?”

Anyone can copy an equation, but to make something of your own, you have to understand it.

Ok. So after you apply the activation function to the sum. What then do you do to it? The arrows on the right arnt explained.

[AlexVoxel]

Thank you for the explanation! Finally something i can easily understand

[angryazules]

tysm!! ive been looking at other tutorials and started to feel discouraged because i did'ntt understand the machine learning lingo and math behind it. This simple explaination is a lifesaver !

[IamPali]

This is awesome. Finally a simple yet coherent explanation.

[Maeesha]

This is what I really needed before dive dig into deeper! Thank you so much for such a nice explanation !!!

[nahidakhter]

beautifully explained! I've never come across such a simple and understandable explanation of neural networks!

[shulihu]

the best explanation of neural network, thanks!

[gihan]

THANK YOU! After years (on and off!) of trying to wrap my head around this algorithm, it finally is "intuitive" enough for me to move to the next level and actually try and code one!

[doctor]

Finally the video I was searching for, u r tooo good.

[davidromero]

your video was very useful to clarify all my information about NN, thanks dude

[forte]

Thanks for the equations by the way, huge help!

[AnimeDR]

Ayeee, thank you for scrunching all this heavy content information in a way that makes sense. Props to you!

[seantheisen]

This is actually really cool, its a bit difficult at first but once you get it you will like math X10 more

[iklimbov]

Omg, you actually made me giggle with your explanations. I little bit confusing especially about back propagation. But, still very useful, thank you!

[pritamaries]

Thank You sir. Really appreciate the effort. I hunted for a good explanation and finally i ended up with this gr8 explanation. Couldn't be happier.
