What you should understand before optimization

Neural-network foundations

You should be able to explain why a target and prediction differ, compute a weighted sum, choose an activation, measure a loss, find a one-neuron gradient and update a weight. If these steps are weak, repeat the first training example and the ReLU backprop example. They contain the entire calculation pattern that the next chapters extend.

These four operations form the training loop used by the optimizers in the next chapter. Tap the diagram to enlarge.
