Deep Learning Lesson 1: A Single Neuron

Welcome to the first lesson in our Practicing Deep Learning Series. Thoughtly is writing a multi-part tutorial series focused on understanding the foundations of Deep Learning, specifically as they apply to Natural Language Processing. This series, like our previous series, is targeted towards practitioners of machine learning. Now we are looking to provide information for developers who wish to cultivate a working familiarity with neural networks (NN) and deep learning (DL). Our goal is to help ML students, amateurs and professionals move from an awareness of neural networks to a working familiarity with the tools and workflows necessary to accomplish real-world tasks with a neural network.
