You’ve got this. Read a little, play a little — I’ll wait. No rush.
LEGO view
Neuron: y = relu(w1*x1 + w2*x2 + b). Layer = many neurons. Stack layers = deep net.
- Images: pixels → edges → textures → faces
- Text: chars → words → phrases → meaning
Depth reuses parts, so fewer neurons cover more patterns.
Why now?
Data + GPUs + tricks (ReLU, dropout, Adam, transformers). Same idea from 1980s, scaled.
You can use embeddings and APIs long before you train a net.
