This StatQuest picks up right here Part 1 left off, and this time we're going to go totally bonkers with The Chain Rule and optimize every single parameter in this simple Neural Network. BAM!!!

NOTE: This StatQuest assumes that you already know the main ideas behind Backpropagation: youtu.be/IN2XmBhILt4
...and that also means you should be familiar with...
Neural Networks: youtu.be/CqOfi41LfDw
The Chain Rule: youtu.be/wl1myxrtQHQ
Gradient Descent: youtu.be/sDv4f4s2SB8

LAST NOTE: When I was researching this 'Quest, I found this page by Sebastian Raschka to be helpful: sebastianraschka.com/faq/docs/backprop-arbitrary.html
