Lessons learned from building a Hello World Neural Network - Blendo

My personal experience with Neural Networks began some time ago. Reading about the amazing things a neural network could do made me eager to explore this problem-solving approach that has attracted so much attention during the past few years. I remember myself impressed by a model that generates natural language descriptions of images and their regions, developed at the Stanford University in 2015, thinking that I would like to be able to do similar things at some point. From my experience in other machine learning related topics, very detailed mathematical explanations, full of derivatives and equations make understanding difficult. So, I decided to ignore them for the time being.
