Implementing a Neural Network from Scratch in Python – An Introduction

Get the code: To follow along, all the code is also available as an iPython notebook on Github. In this post we will implement a simple 3-layer neural network from scratch. We won't derive all the math that's required, but I will try to give an intuitive explanation of what we are doing. I will also point to resources for you read up on the details. Here I'm assuming that you are familiar with basic Calculus and Machine Learning concepts, e.g.
