Notes (not a complete recap today) of day 4 of the LEAP event (day 1, day 2, day 3).
Machine Learning Fundamentals
The real measure how well a ML model is performing is how well it works with data it has never seen. The training phase could use 70% of data and the Test phase the remaining 30%.

Neural Networks are one type of algorithm. Deep Learning is based on Neural Networks.
Activation Function to get the values between 0 and 1 and are an important feature of the neural networks. They basically decide whether a neuron should be activated or not. Whether the information that the neuron is receiving is relevant for the given information or should it be ignored.

How do we test a trained RNN model (like the word RNN or the character RNN)? We measure perplexity per word!
“Perplexity is a measurement of how well a probability distribution or probability model predicts a sample. It may be used to compare probability models. A low perplexity indicates the probability distribution is good at predicting the sample.” Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perplexity
Deep Learning requires large datasets. Transfer Learning tries to counter this by taking a different approach by using a big source of data that is already trained (for example from Imagenet). Chop of the last layer and add your own inputs and train from there.
