What is it About?

5.
Points to Focus On
Number and Types of Layers;
Initialisation;
Regularisation;
Cost Functions;
Optimisation;
Data Augmentation.

6.
Shallow Neural Networks
Random Initialisation
Mean Squared Error
Stochastic Gradient Descent
Sigmoid

Initialisation and Loss Function
Zero initialisation ☹
W1 = np.zeros((layers_dims[l],
layers_dims[l - 1]))
Random initialisation 😐
W1 =
np.random.randn(layers_di
ms[l], layers_dims[l - 1])
* 10
Mean Squared Error ☹
1/m.sum(Y_hat, Y)**2

Initialisation and Loss Function
Xavier Glorot 😄
W1 = np.random.randn(layers[l], layers[l - 1]) *
np.sqrt(2 / (layers[l - 1] + layers[l]))
L2 regularisation ☺
(ƛ/2.m).sum(W**2)
Adam
Exponentially Weighted Averages

Capsule Networks
The is no pose
(translational and
rotational) relationship
between simpler features.
Successive convolutional or
max pooling layers to
reduce spacial size.
