Week 14- Optimization Algorithms

Click here to read about Week 14.

Welcome to Week 14. During this week we will apply what we learned in Week 13 to the special case of training neural networks. We will begin with the motivation behind neural networks and some of their most important properties from a machine learning perspective. Focusing on shallow networks initially, we will explore training neural networks using pytorch.

Your final homework assignment is due May 18th at the latest.

Here are more details on what you need to do this week:

• Go through module 14 and complete the week 14 readings.
• Attend our second meetup on Monday at 6:45 p.m. ET on Zoom
• Continue working on Lab 7
