I'm interested in learning about Neural Nets and I'd really like my instruction to be in Mathematica if possible.

For instance, a tutorial like this one: http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/chap1.html but using Mathematica instead of Python would be amazing. Does such a resource exist right now?

    $\begingroup$ It's all pretty dated so I'd rather not use those references, but if nothing else is available I'll look into them. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ This is not a direct answer to the question. But I wanted to add that personally, I find that I learn the most from following a tutorial in another language and being forced to do all the translations to my target language. This is especially true if you already know the target language well. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 17, 2020 at 20:14
  • $\begingroup$ 3 years and 3 months, 211 views, and still no answer :) That shows how much meaningful tutorials are lacking. Mason, in my opinion, the best way to understand how NNs are handled in M is by first recognizing that in M the MXNet system is used under the hood. Basically, it's wrappers to manage MXNet with M code. That is illustrated very well in webinars from Markus von Almsick. Although they are limited to image applications, they give you a good overview over handling the different layers in a MXNet-like fashion. For example wolfram.com/broadcast/video.php?p=14&disp=grid&v=2409. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 18, 2020 at 1:12

Since this question was posted many things have changed with Neural Networks. Please see the following key references below.

    $\begingroup$ no, the o/p is asking for a tutorial :) $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 18, 2020 at 1:01

This video recording:

uses both R and Mathematica (WL). It should be a good introduction to the typical functionalities provided by Neural Network libraries, and related rules of thumb and techniques.

There is a dedicated GitHub repository: MathematicaVsR -- Deep Learning Examples.
