Hacker's guide to Neural Networks
With all respect to this PhD candidate, if you're serious about this, you're not doing it in Javascript.<p>And if you're serious about learning it, you'd plop down the $149 for the Home edition of Matlab plus the $45 for the neural net toolbox. Or take a statistics class and grab the $99 student edition, which comes with the machine learning toolbox.<p>If you're gonna learn some shit, learn some shit. Calling Math.* to calculate rise over run in Javascript isn't where it's at.<p>Or maybe I'm just grumpy because I interviewed a Caltech CS grad last week who flat out did not know C. Never touched it in his studies. World's gone nuts.
