May 5th - May 11th

Started my paper implementation project! This will also need a bit of introduction / kickoff post at some point.

Project

Started the new project. First paper I'm really trying to understand and implement is the seminal paper "Learning Representations by Back-propagating Errors". This kind of approach is quite fun but also a bit challenging as I'm forcing myself to go through their derivations and proofs. I haven't done this sort of work before so it's taking a bit of time but I think that's part of the process.

Math Academy

Still in diamond league! Did around 300 XP this week.

ML Learning

On Andrew Ng's course still. Wrapping up course two of his three courses. Hoping to finish this all up soon and then reallocate this time to maybe some textbook study.
