Hello Deep Learning: Intro - Bert Hubert's writings
a day ago
- Author previously dismissed deep learning as overhyped but later realized significant advances were happening.
- Inspired by Andrej Karpathy's 2015 post on recurrent neural networks, author decided to catch up.
- Author aims to build a self-contained, from-scratch demo in plain C++ to explain deep learning fundamentals.
- The project will cover techniques like recognizing handwritten letters using real data.
- The code will use only system libraries plus logging, matrix, and image processing libraries.
- Goal is to show what deep learning tooling does under the hood, not just how to use it.
