GeostatsGuy is teaching artificial neural networks in his ML course this week and released a companion interactive notebook, InteractiveANN.ipynb, on GitHub.
- Builds and trains a simple ANN from the ground up using only NumPy, with every step transparent and no black boxes
- Adds an interactive dashboard built with matplotlib and ipywidgets so students can experiment and see how the network works
- The notebook is 840 lines and lives in his DataScienceInteractivePython repo
A hands-on resource for learning neural network fundamentals below the framework abstraction.
