Week 1 is built around video lectures rather than primary literature, so there are no PDFs to host here. Resources used in the week are listed for reference.
Each entry links to the canonical version of the paper — on arXiv, the journal, or the publisher. Where a paper is paywalled, the DOI is given for UCT-library access.
The week's resources are all video material:
- 3Blue1Brown — But what is a neural network? (Sub-Lesson 1.4)
- 3Blue1Brown — Gradient descent (Sub-Lesson 1.4)
- 3Blue1Brown — What is a transformer? (Sub-Lesson 1.6)
- 3Blue1Brown — Attention in transformers (Sub-Lesson 1.6)
- Jonathan Shock — A lightning tour of AI (UCT seminar, Sub-Lesson 1.3)
Primary academic literature begins in Week 2.
