“The Thinking Part” by Daniel Warfield using MidJourney. All images by the author unless otherwise specified. Article originally made available on Intuitively and Exhaustively Explained. In this article we’ll form a thorough understanding of the neural network, a cornerstone technology underpinning virtually all cutting edge AI systems. We’ll first explore neurons in the human brain, and then explore how they formed the fundamental inspiration for neural networks in AI. We’ll then explore back-propagation, the algorithm

Image artificially generated using Grok 2. Introduction I have been working as a Data Scientist since 2017, and during that time I have been promoted from a junior/mid-level to a senior, and most recently to a Lead Data Scientist. There is a lot of content online regarding landing your first Data Scientist position, but what I find is lacking is the amount of knowledge being shared regarding how to progress your Data Scientist career after

In my professional life as a data scientist, I have encountered time series multiple times. Most of my knowledge comes from my academic experience, specifically my courses in Econometrics (I have a degree in Economics), where we studied statistical properties and models of time series. Among the models I studied was SARIMA, which acknowledges the seasonality of a time series, however, we have never studied how to intercept and recognize seasonality patterns. Most of the
