How this course updates itself

Every day we scan the latest information in every field. We share with you what we think is a change as we go through regular course curriculum work, so it's the most current thing possible.

Nothing in the news has changed what this course teaches. The daily scan last checked it on ; when something does change, a dated note with sources appears here.

Debate a counselor

Take a position on Deep Learning & Neural Networks. The AI counselor argues the other side, asks you questions back, and cites a source for every fact it states. Sources listed under a reply are the pages it actually found; if none are listed, it is arguing from reasoning only. It is an AI and it can be wrong: check the sources.

    Practice

    1. Build a two-layer network on the MNIST digits in a few lines of PyTorch or Keras.
    2. Train for five epochs; plot training and validation loss.
    3. Add dropout and retrain; compare the two curves.

    Check

    Point to the epoch where overfitting begins on your plot and explain what regularization did to it.
