Neural networks are the “beating heart” of modern LLM-based AI systems, driving everything from image recognition to natural language processing. In this 2-hour lecture, we’ll explore the foundational concepts of neural networks and their pivotal role in deep learning projects. This session is designed to be accessible to all, with a focus on intuitive explanations rather than complex mathematics or coding. No prerequisites are required, though a basic understanding of calculus and linear algebra will be beneficial for grasping the finer details.
