Neural Networks in Ruby: A Not-So-Scary Introduction

In this post, we will learn the basics of neural networks and how we can implement them utilizing Ruby! If you're intrigued by artificial intelligence and deep learning but are unsure how to get started, this post is for you! We'll walk through a simple example to highlight the key concepts. It's pretty unlikely that you'd ever use Ruby to write multiple-layer neural networks, but for simplicity and readability, it's a great way to understand what's going on. First, let's take a step back and look at how we got here.
