Explore computational graphs and the backpropagation algorithm: compute loss and gradients via forward and backward passes, with data loss, regularization, nodes, topological order, and gradient rules.
Dropout combats overfitting by randomly zeroing a fraction of hidden-layer outputs during training, using masks and scaling; it is not applied in the output layer or test phase.
Learn how convolutional neural networks extract features from images through layered convolution, ReLU, padding, stride, and pooling, producing feature maps for classification.
Explore how adding neurons can raise accuracy but cause overfitting, and apply regularization (dropout, l1/l2) with learning-rate tuning, data preprocessing like pca and whitening to generalize.
