How does a neural network actually learn?
At Night School, Aaron Gallant, Gauntlet's Lead Instructor, built and trained one from scratch in a free Google Colab notebook. Here's what he covered:
"Accuracy means nothing without a baseline, and the wrong kind of error matters."
He also covered MNIST image classification, confusion matrices and baseline comparisons.
