Summary

In this chapter, you have learned the basic concepts behind multilayer artificial NNs, which are currently the hottest topic in machine learning research. In Chapter 2, Training Simple Machine Learning Algorithms for Classification, we started our journey with simple single-layer NN structures and now we have connected multiple neurons to a powerful NN architecture to solve complex problems such as handwritten digit recognition. We demystified the popular backpropagation algorithm, which is one of the building blocks of many NN models that are used in deep learning. After learning about the backpropagation algorithm in this chapter, we are well equipped for exploring more complex DNN architectures. In the remaining chapters, we will cover TensorFlow, an open source library geared toward deep learning, which allows us to implement and train multilayer NNs more efficiently.
