🎉 You’re doing great! This concept might seem tricky at first, but you’ve got this! Neural Networks: Building Blocks of Deep Learning - Made Simple!

Neural networks consist of interconnected nodes (neurons) organized in layers. The input layer receives data, hidden layers process it, and the output layer produces the final result. Each connection has a weight that determines its importance in the network.

This next part is really neat! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import numpy as np

def sigmoid(x):
    return 1 / (1 + np.exp(-x))

class Neuron:
    def __init__(self, weights, bias):
        self.weights = weights
        self.bias = bias
    
    def feedforward(self, inputs):
        total = np.dot(self.weights, inputs) + self.bias
        return sigmoid(total)

# Example usage
weights = np.array([0.5, -0.5, 1.0])
bias = 0.1
neuron = Neuron(weights, bias)
inputs = np.array([2, 3, -1])
output = neuron.feedforward(inputs)
print(f"Neuron output: {output}")

        self.hidden_size = hidden_size
        self.rnn = nn.RNN(input_size, hidden_size, batch_first=True)
        self.fc = nn.Linear(hidden_size, output_size)
    
    def forward(self, x):
        h0 = torch.zeros(1, x.size(0), self.hidden_size).to(x.device)
        out, _ = self.rnn(x, h0)
        out = self.fc(out[:, -1, :])
        return out

# Example usage

            if normalize:
                layers.append(nn.BatchNorm1d(out_feat, 0.8))
            layers.append(nn.LeakyReLU(0.2, inplace=True))
            return layers
        
        self.model = nn.Sequential(
            *block(latent_dim, 128, normalize=False),

            *block(256, 512),
            *block(512, 1024),
            nn.Linear(1024, int(torch.prod(torch.tensor(img_shape)))),
            nn.Tanh()
        )

    def forward(self, z):
        img = self.model(z)
        img = img.view(img.size(0), *self.img_shape)
        return img

class Discriminator(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, img_shape):
        super(Discriminator, self).__init__()
        
        self.model = nn.Sequential(
            nn.Linear(int(torch.prod(torch.tensor(img_shape))), 512),
            nn.LeakyReLU(0.2, inplace=True),
            nn.Linear(512, 256),
            nn.LeakyReLU(0.2, inplace=True),
            nn.Linear(256, 1),
            nn.Sigmoid()
        )

    def forward(self, img):
        img_flat = img.view(img.size(0), -1)
        validity = self.model(img_flat)
        return validity

# Example usage
latent_dim = 100
img_shape = (1, 28, 28)  # For MNIST dataset

generator = Generator(latent_dim, img_shape)
discriminator = Discriminator(img_shape)

# Generate fake images
z = torch.randn(64, latent_dim)
fake_images = generator(z)

# Discriminate real vs fake
real_images = torch.randn(64, *img_shape)  # Replace with real data
real_validity = discriminator(real_images)
fake_validity = discriminator(fake_images.detach())

print(f"Generated image shape: {fake_images.shape}")
print(f"Real validity: {real_validity.mean().item()}")
print(f"Fake validity: {fake_validity.mean().item()}")

}

# Set up the random search

    model, param_distributions=param_dist, n_iter=20, cv=3, n_jobs=-1, verbose=2
)

# Perform the search
random_search.fit(X, y)

# Print the best parameters and score
print("Best parameters:", random_search.best_params_)
print("Best score:", random_search.best_score_)

    rotated = transform.rotate(image, angle, mode='wrap')
    
    # Flip horizontally
    if np.random.rand() > 0.5:
        rotated = np.fliplr(rotated)
    
    # Add noise
    noise = np.random.normal(0, 0.05, rotated.shape)
    noisy = np.clip(rotated + noise, 0, 1)
    
    return noisy

# Generate a sample image
original = np.random.rand(28, 28)

# Create augmented versions
augmented = [augment_image(original) for _ in range(4)]

# Plot original and augmented images
fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 5, figsize=(15, 3))
axes[0].imshow(original, cmap='gray')
axes[0].set_title('Original')
for i, img in enumerate(augmented, 1):
    axes[i].imshow(img, cmap='gray')
    axes[i].set_title(f'Augmented {i}')
for ax in axes:
    ax.axis('off')

    def forward(self, hidden, encoder_outputs):
        seq_len = encoder_outputs.size(0)
        h = hidden.repeat(seq_len, 1, 1).transpose(0, 1)
        encoder_outputs = encoder_outputs.transpose(0, 1)
        attn_energies = self.score(h, encoder_outputs)
