How Neural Networks Learn: A Probabilistic Viewpoint

Understanding loss functions for training neuralnetworksMachine learning is very hands-on, and everyone charts their own path. There isn’t a standard set of courses to follow, as was traditionally the case. There’s no β€˜Machine Learning 101,’ so to speak. However, this sometimes leaves gaps in understanding. If you’re like me, these gaps can feel uncomfortable. For instance, I used to be bothered by things we do...
