In this chapter, you'll become familiar with the fundamental concepts and terminology used in deep learning, and understand why deep learning techniques are so powerful today. You'll build simple neural networks and generate predictions with them.

Introduction to deep learning

Comparing neural network models to classical regression models

Forward propagation

Coding the forward propagation algorithm

Activation functions

The Rectified Linear Activation Function

Applying the network to many observations/rows of data

Deeper networks
