  • Abstract (2-3 lines)
    Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence are today's buzzwords. And the one that is emerging as a hero is Deep Learning, which is nothing but a Deep Neural Network. Being thorough with a basic Neural Network can strengthen one's base before diving into Deep Learning.

  • Brief Description and Contents to be covered
    A general introduction to Deep Learning and Neural Networks will be given from the most basics so that a layman can even follow up. Contents I'm planning to cover:

  1. What is a Neuron
  2. Basic Neural Network Structure
  3. Forward Propagation
  4. Cost Function
  5. Backpropagation (just a shallow introduction)
  6. Gradient Descent (just a shallow introduction)
  7. Building a basic Neural Network from Scratch (hands-on) without using any ML Library.
  • Pre-requisites for the talk
  1. Should've at least a little idea about Machine Learning.
  2. Should've worked with Python (especially numpy library)

  • Time required for the talk
    A thorough introduction might take an hour (including hands-on), but if needed, can be wrapped up within 30 minutes.

  • Link to slides
    Not yet made. I will make sure to make it if I'm given this opportunity. Though I've got a blog prepared on it whose link is given within the below repository.

  • Will you be doing hands-on demo as well?
    Yes

  • Link to ipython notebook (if any)

  • About yourself
    I'm a student currently pursuing Engineering sadly not in Computer discipline but my love for the advancing technologies has bought me in the arena of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. I'm a determined Machine Learning enthusiast, specifically Deep Learning, who's working his way up this ladder with each passing hour in parallel with the Electronics discipline I'm enrolled in. In a nutshell, I'm a friend first, determined second and probably entertainer third.!

  • Are you comfortable if the talk is recorded and uploaded to PyData Delhi's YouTube channel ?
    Yeah sure.

  • Any query ?
    I just want to know if I'll be given a choice of dates to give the presentation on or I've to do it in whichever meetup is the nearest? Also, I can also give a lightning talk on "Live Plotting with Matplotlib".
