Deep Learning Lesson 4: Multilayer Networks and Booleans

Here we are, part four of our Practicing Deep Learning Series. Alas, we are at the point where we will start to examine multilayer neural networks! We've spent a decent amount of time building up to this point, but with good reason. It can be easy to gloss over the details of the individual neurons and we feel the risk of being too verbose outweighed the risk of being uninformative. The real power of neural networks become increasingly apparent when we start making multi-layer networks. In this post, we're going to describe the basic multi-layer network and look at examples of some of simple tasks it can solve. We're going to dive into two specific examples, but we provide code for those two – plus a few others. We'll point you to that code as we go.
