That is a good question - I will attempt to answer it for you (probably poorly): First off, for most problems you don't need a neural network - many, many problems can be solved using simple statistical regression techniques - what cou

If you want a great introduction, check out Andrew Ng's Coursera course: https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning This is the same course that was originally called "ML Class" in 2011 when it was

What is being meant is that the example is one of "unrolled loops" - that is, to an extent, some of the matrix math has been unrolled in order to show the discrete steps involved in the calculations that would be lost (more opaque

The problem with that is these kinds of simplified "how it works" neural net examples don't scale for real world problems - especially when using an interpreted language like Python. Even a simple but useful scenario like the

Seconding Ng's course here. I took it in 2011 (ML Class) before Coursera existed, and it finally opened my eyes on not only what and how backprop worked, but also how everything in a NN could be represented and calculated using vectors
