What is a Neural Network?¶

How does it relate to other terms in the field¶

Comparison with other courses¶

• ECE 491/591: Deep Learning (Dr Yifeng Zhu)

  • We will dive deeper on backpropagation. We will implement your on Pytorch library.

  • We are more theoretical, less towards application than ECE 491.

• COS 475/575: Machine Learning (Dr Chaofan Chen)

  • There are other kinds of ML algos (SVM, Gaussian Processes, Decision trees, Random Forests, Nearest Neighbors).

  • We will be focused on Neural Networks.

• COS 470/570: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

  • Searching for solutions

  • Neural Networks are more about pattern matching.

• COS 498/598: Explainable AI (Dr Chaofan Chen)

  • Focuses on explainability of Neural Networks
