Deep Learning - Crash Course 2023 - Artificial Neural Networks

The video introduces neural networks as mathematical functions that process inputs to produce outputs. It uses an employee hiring scenario to explain how input features, like experience and skills, are weighted to influence hiring decisions. The concept of weighted averages is discussed, highlighting its role in neural network predictions. The video also covers the use of activation functions to ensure outputs fall within a desired range, setting the stage for further exploration of these functions in subsequent lessons.

Discuss how the hiring scenario illustrates the application of neural networks.

What is the process of calculating the weighted average in the context of neural networks?

What are the implications of having a weighted average output between zero and one?
