To demystify NNs further we need to stop graphically representing spurious interactions. If you can perturb or remove a link win between any two neurons i & j, then that interaction is spurious and shouldn't be represented by in the graphical network representation. Doing this iteratively you can start to better appreciate that neural networks are computational circuits that use thereshold functions instead of logic gates.

#42Hey, everyone! I'm the founder of lumiverse.io, it's pretty incredible to see our website on the front page of HN! I want lumiverse to become an awesome community where people can discover and discuss great educational videos. We've launched only recently, the site is still in active development, I'm improving it every day. If you have any feedback - please let me know =) (Also feel free to contact me at raymestalez@…
nice work, i am interested in this kind of information, but i am no big fan of the edutainment video format, i prefer text or a university lecture.
some feedback about the first video:
- why the music? should this be information or an awfully mixed guitar rap song with the worst flow ever? i can't stand the use of elevator music in these kind of videos and also regard this kind of video production as an act of disrespect towards music in general.
- why not use more descriptive variable names, e.g. hours and score instead of x and y? the mystification of these kind of things comes partially from generalised abstraction and undescriptive variable names. since you already use a real world example, why not reflect it with the variable names?
- less speed, more pauses in general do good for demystification of such a topic, the typical 10-second-attention-span youtube-edutainment-video-style might not really fit here
- the drawings and the general flow are nice and well done

I think this is just a matter of learning styles. This speaks to one kind of learner, maybe not others. I personally learn by doing - no lecture, no matter how slow or fast is going to "teach" me - it may lay groundwork, but I learn in the (virtual) trenches.

#46I liked! Already done the first 3, the music didn't bothered me neither the voice (i'm not a native english at all.). As for the concept explain, it's true that some equation are a little bit out of reach for someone that has less mathematical background. But i understand the concept so far, which are well explained.
I'm not sure i would be able to just write (or decide) the equation for the neural network. On what criteria can you decide this will work better or not? What are your key to make a decision?
Re: Neural Networks Demystified
#47Nice, one suggestion, please ditch the music, its distracting and doesn't play well with speaker's voice.

#48I am very interested in this subject but I was unable to finish watching these videos. The background music is incredibly distracting. I have a name for that kind of music, I call it Silicon Valley Music because it is the kind of music used in a lot of startup product videos. The narrator voice style is also pretty much the same that is used in those. I wanted to like these videos but I did not feel that they had any value what so ever. With all of these kinds of videos, I feel like the producers want the audience to feel bliss or learning but that they never actually deliver on that so instead it seems insincere and underhanded.
Re: Neural Networks Demystified
#49I saw some of the videos and i agree with the suggestions provided here but i really like the simple way of explaining and less mathematical more programmatic approach. It'd be awesome if you could make some neural networks with cuda or any other library like tensorflow or theano. Good luck.

A lot of Kickstarter campaigns are using that kind of music too.
