Demystifying Deep Learning: Illustrated Perceptron Tutorial with Akamai CTO Dr. Robert Blumofe

In this tutorial, Akamai CTO Dr. Robert Blumofe leverages a simple yet powerful device called the Perceptron to provide a practical, step-by-step demonstration of the key concepts underpinning deep learning and neural networks. The Perceptron, a single-neuron neural network illustrates how these powerful AI models are trained and used for inference. Through this hands-on approach, viewers will gain a solid understanding of the 4 fundamental principles needed to grasp the inner workings of deep learning. As a bonus, instructions and a build guide for building a Perceptron using a soldering iron are included below. What You’ll Learn: - How to build and train the Perceptron - How to use the Perceptron for inference - The 4 core concepts essential for grasping deep learning and neural networks Perceptron build guide: https://github.com/rdb64-hobbies/Perceptron/blob/main/BUILDING.md Welch Labs video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-9ALe3U-Fg Welch Labs book: https://www.welchlabs.com/ai-book New to Cloud Computing?
