#2In regards to the first interactive demo, it seems to be adjusting the line to be parallel to the one drawn on the background. Was this intentional or are the supposed to converge?

#3An awesome book; I've now started reading from the beginning of the book :)
One thing I've noticed though, is that img 10 of chapter 1 is missing.

#4The experience (specifically the careful choice of mediums + examples + presentation though which the concepts are conveyed) is pretty fantastic.

The line in the background is the function towards which the neural net is expected to converge.

You may also want to read the chapter on fractal programming
in this book. Its pretty intuitive too.

#9This book is everything I've ever wanted in a programming text. I'm sorry that I don't have much of anything substantial to say except praise, but seriously, thank you for writing this.

#10Does anyone have any examples of areas where neural networks beat out statistical based methods, other than maybe image recognition? I can't even think of another major area where they dominate.
- Search engines use algorithms, not neural nets.
- The most popular algorithm on Kaggle (data analysis competitions) is random forests
- Google's self-driving car uses statistical-based methods
I can't imagine commercial aircraft would use a neural net. What happened if one crashed? They would analyze the data and ask questions like, Q: "What happened?" A: "I don't know" Q: "Can we fix it so it doesn't happen again?" A: "I don't know".
