The spelled-out intro to neural networks and backpropagation: building micrograd
Andrej Karpathy's first Neural Networks: Zero to Hero lecture, which builds micrograd, a tiny autograd engine, from scratch in Python. It explains backpropagation and neural network training step by step, assuming only basic Python and some high-school calculus.
Ideas to listen for
- 1micrograd
- 2autograd
- 3backpropagation
