U-Days Presentation About Machine Learning

Date:

I gave a talk about Machine Learning at Aarhus University. I spent 45 minutes on convincing high-school students that what they learn in math is cool. The talk (with these slides) covered the basic idea about loss-functions and gradient descent on a simple data set generated from a 4th-order polynomial and then it motivated how we can use such tricks to train deep neural networks.

I have included a tiny gif that I showed the attendees during the slides: Gradient descent animation
