Find out why backpropagation and gradient descent are key to prediction in machine learning, then get started with training a simple neural network using gradient descent and Java code.

Move the point T along the graph of y=sin(x) by moving the slider. The slope function (derivative) is then traced out in blue. Can you identify the graph of the derivative? This is a Java Applet ...

Graph coloring has been employed since the 1980s to efficiently compute sparse Jacobian and Hessian matrices using either finite differences or automatic differentiation. Several coloring problems ...
