Neural Network learns sine function in NumPy/Python with backprop from scratch

Описание: Backpropagation is a method to obtain a gradient estimate for the weights and biases in a neural network. As a special case of reverse-mode automatic differentiation, it is a function transformation of the forward pass. Let's implement it in NumPy. Here is the code: https://github.com/Ceyron/machine-lea...
