18.065 Matrix Methods in Data Analysis, Signal Processing, and Machine Learning

18.065 Matrix Methods in Data Analysis, Signal Processing, and Machine Learning (Spring 2018, MIT OCW). Instructor: Prof. Gilbert Strang. Linear algebra concepts are key for understanding and creating machine learning algorithms, especially as applied to deep learning and neural networks. This course reviews linear algebra with applications to probability and statistics and optimization-and above all a full explanation of deep learning. (from ocw.mit.edu)

Lecture 21 - Minimizing a Function Step by Step

In this lecture, Professor Strang discusses optimization, the fundamental algorithm that goes into deep learning. Later in the lecture he reviews the structure of convolutional neural networks (CNN) used in analyzing visual imagery.
