"Neural Networks Work Like the Brain"
Captions available
The idea
Neural networks are brain-inspired the way a paper airplane is bird-inspired — what runs is multiply, add, compare, and real brains learn by mechanisms the arithmetic does not model.
In practice
The perceptron borrowed a cartoon of a neuron; the word has paid confusion dividends ever since.
Where people slip
This course teaches the machinery as what it is — arithmetic — never as what it is named after.
