This post is a continuation to my previous post Object Detection with Single Shot Multibox Detector. If you have not read the first part, I recommend you to read that first for a better understanding. In this post, along with some important concepts regarding training, I have talked about my observation of the model complexity […]

Neural Network Demystified Part ll – Deep Neural Network
This post is the second part of the series Neural Network Demystified. If you haven’t read the first part please check Neural Network Demystified Part I – Building Blocks and Activation Functions first. Artificial Neural Networks Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are motivated by the nervous system of the human brain where approximately 86 billion neurons are […]
Neural Network Demystified Part I – Building Blocks and Activation Functions
Building Blocks of a Neural Network Although the original intention of designing a neural network was to simulate the human brain system to solve general learning problems in a principled way, in practice neural network algorithms work in much simpler way than a human brain. Current neural networks can be compared to statistical models having […]
How deep is a Deep Neural Net?
As a machine learning researcher, I often get asked this question about “how deep a neural net is called a deep neural net”. After having some good reads and listening to some great AI specialists, I have finally come up with a satisfactory answer to this interesting but a bit tricky question. Before delving deep […]
