Some suggestions
Fragment of a discussion from Course talk:CPSC522/Artificial Neural Network
Hi Ke, Thanks for the write up on Neural Net. It provided many insights, however I have few suggestions, which may help in clarifying few things better:
- The examples you used to describe neural nets, contain directed edges. However it is not explicitly not made clear, what these directions imply
- You have given few examples of activation functions, but there use is not made clear. Providing a comparison of those function and in what context should which one be used will help readers to understand them better
- Neural nets while being powerful by providing a choice of different activation function, are also prone to over fitting. A small section on that trade of and best practices used in that setting may be added to help realizing the full potential of neural net over other models.
- Looks like the figure number 1.6 is missing
- The last section of where neural nets are used does not provide much insight. A one line description against those application areas can mitigate this
- I dont see any other pages linked both internal and external. So adding few of them will help interested readers to learn more about those
- The builds on and more general than sections are not edited. In case you feel like nothing to add there, then you may remove the texts.
best, Prithu Banerjee
