Imagine your brain has millions of tiny helpers called neurons. When you see a handwritten "7", these helpers work together:
We're building a "shallow" neural network - think of it as a smart but simple brain:
Just like how you learned to recognize numbers by seeing thousands of examples, our AI will:
Let's watch our AI baby learn to read! đâ¨
Our AI doesn't just memorize digits - it develops an internal "understanding" of them. Imagine if you could peek inside the AI's brain and see how it organizes different digits in its mind!
Think of the AI's hidden layer as a 128-dimensional space (impossible to visualize). Each digit gets mapped to a point in this space. Similar-looking digits end up close together, while different ones are far apart.
The Problem: We can't see 128 dimensions! The Solution: Use special algorithms to squash this down to 3D while keeping the important relationships.
Get ready for some mind-blowing 3D visualizations! đâ¨
