Adam. Adaptive first-order optimizer that became the default for almost every deep learning codebase — a must-implement from scratch.
What you'll get
- Outline: a plain-English breakdown of the paper's core idea, prerequisites, and the concepts you'll need to implement it.
- Exercises: five to ten hands-on tasks, each with a concept card, a prompt, a starter code stub, and a collapsible reference solution.
- Runnable notebook: a single
.ipynbyou can download and open in Jupyter or VS Code to work through every exercise. - Extensions: suggested follow-up experiments so you don't stop at a faithful reimplementation.
