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!

Thank you for showing it step by step in Excel. It was a great help to be able to look into deep learning in such detail!
Deep Learning Basics
Excel
VBA
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."
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
