Code a 2-layer Neural Network from Scratch

Introduction

This article provides the development of a 2-layer neural network (NN) only using NumPy. This project is a practical introduction to the fundamentals of deep learning and neural network architecture. The main focus will be on the step-by-step construction of the network, aiming to provide a clear and straightforward understanding of its underlying mechanics (i.e., the mathematics behind NNs).

Why a 2-layer neural network?

There is no secret behind the selection of 2 layers. In this project, we will …
