How a Neural Network Actually Learns: From a Single Neuron to Backpropagation
A single artificial neuron can’t solve XOR. Here’s the full, provable chain of fixes — nonlinearity, activation functions, initialization, backpropagation, batching, and the right loss function — that turns that…

Why Cross-Entropy Beats MSE for Classification: The Gradient Math, Proven (Ep:03.06)
A confidently wrong sigmoid+MSE network gets a weaker correction signal exactly when it needs a stronger one. Module 3 of From Zero to Agents derives why softmax+cross-entropy avoids this pathology,…

Why Weight Initialization Matters: Xavier and He Init, Derived From Scratch (Ep:03.03)
The wrong starting weights can make a deep network’s activations vanish to zero or explode to millions before training even begins. Module 3 of From Zero to Agents derives Xavier…

How Multi-Layer Neural Networks Solve XOR (and Why Nonlinearity Is Non-Negotiable) (Ep:03.01)
Stacking two perceptrons solves the problem one perceptron provably can’t. Module 3 of From Zero to Agents hand-builds a working XOR network, proves why linear layers alone can never work…

The Perceptron and the XOR Problem: Why Single Neurons Aren’t Enough (Ep:03.00)
In 1969, Minsky and Papert proved a single perceptron can never learn XOR. Module 3 of From Zero to Agents derives that proof from scratch, trains a real perceptron in…
