Following along step-by-step in Excel like this makes it much easier to understand than just putting in code with Python.

It was very helpful! I can't find the reason why the prediction value keeps converging to a constant in the final using Relu. I would like some help! Updated on 6/27: I sent it again today in case you didn't receive the email. Please check it. Thank you!

🥗 Practical Deep Learning Curriculum Learned with Excel

1. The Meaning of Matrices: Understanding the Containers for Ingredients

It is a consideration of how to efficiently contain the ingredients known as data.

  • Learn the rules of operations that occur when a pile of numbers becomes a matrix ($Matrix$).

  • Understand data structures not as simple lists, but in terms of their "spatial significance."

2. Stacking Deep: The Magic of Layers Adding Flavor

We explore the reasons for stacking layers to go beyond simple flavors (linearity) and create complex depth (non-linearity).

  • Understand the structure of Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and experience firsthand why the model becomes smarter as the layers get deeper.

3. Designing the Model: Composing Your Own Recipe

Design the path for data to flow, from input to output, yourself.

  • Structure on an Excel sheet where and how much of the seasonings, called weights ($w$) and biases ($b$), should be placed.

4. Chain Rule: Tracking Changes in Flavor

It is the mathematical logic of tracing back to identify which ingredient caused the change in the final dish's taste.

  • Through the chain rule of calculus, we read the flow of change among complexly intertwined functions.

5. Backpropagation: Modifying the Secret Source

This is the most core 'feedback' process of deep learning, where the initial ingredient proportions are adjusted based on the results (errors).

  • Clearly understand the process of errors flowing backward and updating weights through mathematical formulas.

6. Excel Implementation: Practical Application on the Cutting Board

Translate all the recipes learned in theory into code within each individual Excel cell ($Cell$).

  • Without using TensorFlow, you will complete a model that learns and evolves on its own using only Excel formulas.

7. Activation Function: The Threshold of Flavor

It is a filtering process that decides whether to enhance or suppress the flavors of the ingredients.

  • You will learn the principles of how various activation functions, such as Sigmoid and ReLU, breathe 'vitality' into deep learning.

8. Wrap-up: The Chef's Insight

Based on an essential understanding that does not rely on tools, we prepare to venture out into the larger ocean of artificial intelligence.

  • Summarize how the experience of implementing in Excel becomes a powerful intuition when using Python frameworks in the future.


👨‍🏫 Instructor Introduction

Wonderful

"The more complex a technology is, the simpler its roots must be."

  • Author: Wrote "Python Artificial Intelligence TensorFlow"

    • I have included the know-how to easily explain complex AI algorithms from a beginner's perspective.

  • Education: Graduated from Hanyang University Graduate School of Artificial Intelligence Convergence

    • I have researched the core principles of artificial intelligence based on academic depth and practical application.

  • Strengths: Beyond simply teaching 'how to use' it, I possess exceptional expertise in visualizing the 'internal working principles' of technology and delivering them through Unplugged methods.

Hello

I am an office worker from a non-major background who is studying deep learning diligently.

I would like to share with you the things I've felt and learned while studying.

Thank you.
