Machine Learning in Elixir

Breaking Down a Neural Network

With an understanding of why neural networks are necessary and why they’re so powerful, it’s time to dive into the question of what is a neural network. In this section, you’ll break down the vocabulary surrounding deep learning, the anatomy of neural networks, and what a neural network actually looks like in Elixir. Understanding the building blocks of neural networks will help build your intuition as you start to use Axon.

Getting the Terminology Right

Deep models, neural networks, artificial neural networks (ANNs), multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs)—if you’ve spent some time reading about deep learning, you likely have encountered all of these terms used almost interchangeably. The terminology of deep learning can ...
