Building the fundamentals

This section is where you will begin the journey of being a deep learning architect. Deep learning stands on the pillar of ANNs. Our first step should be to understand how they work. In this section, we describe the biological inspiration behind the artificial neuron and the mathematical model to create an ANN. We have tried keeping the mathematics to a minimum and focused more on concepts. However, we assume you are familiar with basic algebra and calculus.

Biological inspiration 

As we mentioned earlier, deep learning is inspired by the human brain. This seems a good idea indeed. To develop the intelligence of the brain inside a machine, you need the machine to mimic the brain! Now, if you...
