If you are an AI enthusiast and an engineer at heart, chances are you want to know what’s inside a neural network. I am a big fan of learning by doing, and starting from basics. "Walk before you can run", this sort of thing. So I made a blog post for you - so you can get a real, palpable feeling of what it really means to teach a neural network, what weights exactly are, and why people say neural networks can be hard to interpret. You'll need nothing but pen and paper, and no complex math knowledge than addition and multiplication.
