Summary
Building a small neural network from scratch provides a practical view of the elementary properties of a neuron. We saw that a neuron requires an input that can contain many variables. Then, weights are applied to the values with biases. An activation function then transforms the result and produces an output.
Neural networks, even one- or two-layer networks, can provide real-life solutions in a corporate environment. A real-life business case was implemented using complex theory broken down into small functions. Then, these components were assembled to be as minimal and profitable as possible.
It takes talent to break a problem down into elementary parts and find a simple, powerful solution. It requires more effort than just typing hundreds to thousands of lines of code to make things work. A well-thought through algorithm will always be more profitable, and software maintenance will prove more cost-effective.
