I've been trying to learn more about neural networks recently, but all the resources I've found seem pretty complex. This was a good example of building a simple one from scratch.

Thanks! I think a lot of the resources out there can be overwhelming for beginners. I tried to keep the explanation as simple as possible in this post.

I'm familiar with AI, but I've never tried building a neural network before. Do you have any recommendations for where to start?

I'd recommend starting with a simple tutorial or online course. There are plenty of free resources available online. Once you have a good understanding of the basics, you can try building a simple neural network from scratch like in this post.

I've heard that building a neural network can be time-consuming. How long did it take you to build this one from scratch?

It did take me a while, but I think that's because I was trying to make sure I understood everything that was going on. All told, it probably took me around 10 hours to build this one from scratch.

I'm impressed! I don't think I have the patience to build a neural network from scratch, but I'm glad to see that it's possible for those who do.
