Q & A
What is the main focus of the lesson in the transcript?
-The main focus of the lesson is to cover the basics of Math and NumPy fundamentals for Deep Learning, including linear algebra, calculus, and programming with a focus on NumPy for working with arrays.
What is a vector in the context of linear algebra?
-In linear algebra, a vector is a mathematical construct that looks like a Python list and represents one-dimensional data, meaning it goes in only one direction.
How is a matrix different from a vector?
-A matrix is a two-dimensional array with rows and columns, whereas a vector is one-dimensional and does not have rows and columns.
What is the L2 Norm of a vector?
-The L2 Norm, also known as the Euclidean distance, is the most commonly used norm to find the length of a vector. It is calculated as the square root of the sum of the squared lengths of the vector elements.
How do you create a two-dimensional array or matrix in NumPy?
-You can create a two-dimensional array or matrix in NumPy by defining the elements in rows and columns, similar to how you would define a vector but with additional elements for the second dimension.
What is the purpose of basis vectors in linear algebra?
-Basis vectors are used to define a coordinate system in Euclidean space. They are orthogonal to each other, and any point in the space can be reached by combining these basis vectors with appropriate coefficients.
How is a basis change related to machine learning and deep learning?
-A basis change is a common operation in machine learning and deep learning. It involves changing the coordinate system or the basis vectors used to represent data, which can help in better understanding and modeling the data.
What is the linear regression formula mentioned in the transcript?
-The linear regression formula mentioned is y hat (predicted y) equals W (weight value or coefficient) times X (input value) plus B (bias). It is used to make predictions based on input data.
How can you use broadcasting in NumPy?
-Broadcasting in NumPy allows you to perform operations on arrays of different shapes. Two arrays can be broadcasted if their shapes are compatible, meaning either the smaller array has a length of one in the dimensions that don't match, or the smaller array's shape matches the larger array exactly.
What is the significance of the derivative in the context of neural networks?
-Derivatives are crucial for training neural networks as they are used in the backpropagation algorithm to update the parameters of the network. The derivative represents the rate of change or the slope of a function, which helps in understanding how the network's predictions change with respect to its parameters.
How do you calculate the derivative of a function using the finite differences method?
-The finite differences method calculates the derivative of a function at a single point by finding the slope between two points that are very close to each other. This is done by taking the difference of the function values at these points and dividing by the difference in their x-values.
