Backpropagation Explained for Beginners (Part 1): Building the Intuition
Unlock the learning process behind neural networks with our introductory guide to backpropagation. This first installment focuses on building intuition—understanding *how* these powerful systems adjust to improve their performance, step by step. Forget complex equations for now; we'll prioritize a clear, accessible explanation of the core concepts. If you’re intrigued by the broader implications of AI development, consider exploring "Nonprofit Current AI is racing to build the World Wide Web of AI, free for all," for a glimpse into a future where AI benefits everyone.
Mechanistic interpretability: a first paper on disentangling a convolutional neuron [R]
Recent independent research offers a novel approach to mechanistic interpretability, focusing on detailed analysis of individual neurons. This initial paper explores a 1x1 convolution within InceptionV1, revealing that the Hadamard product of a neuron’s receptive field and weight defines the patterns it detects. Through clustering these products, the study identifies monosemantic activations—cars, cats, dogs—and surprisingly, lesser-known activations like letters and faces. This technique illuminates a deliberate pattern within gradient descent, suggesting a nuanced organization of concepts. [https://pages.narang99.in/posts/2026-07-12-disentangling-mixed4
