An Artificial Neural Network, the primary constituent of Machine learning and Deep Learning, consists of the neurons, i.e. nodes grouped into Input Layer, Hidden Layer and the Output. The input layer provides the problem while the output layer classifies or finds the probability (like detecting the correct image or recognizing faces or texts). It is the hidden layer that is most interesting. The hidden layers are used in feature engineering to detect more and more features progressively as we move towards the output. This is done through  processes called forward propagation and back propagation. Simply put, the layers are connected to each other and provide input to each other and each input being associated with a suitable weight and accompanied by a bias. The weights are first chosen randomly and then the network is trained on a set of data. More the training data the better it is, as it may minimize the problem of overfitting esp. when there are too many features. The input signa

Another problem that atheism fails to resolve is that of the life of the great teachers, sages and saints who have led a completely unselfish life devoted to the welfare of the others. These set of great figures in history, called great teachers or incarnations, appear only once in say about 500 years, Buddha, Christ, Sankara, Ramanuja, Chaitanya, Nanak, Ramakrishna-Vivekananda-Sarada Devi being some of them who made a huge impact. If we study their lives carefully we find that these lives are remarkable. They devote considerable amount of time in preparing themselves for their roles and then once they have entered the stage of teaching they devote themselves wholeheartedly to it, setting new ideas and principles. They often bring huge, earth shattering changes in their wakes, changes which are felt quite a few years after they have left their mortal coils. They lead a life of purity, truthfulness, simplicity and attract hundreds during their lifetime and thousands, may be millions,

One of the key points of contention between Theism and Atheism may be around the problem of evil. Suffering exists, that's  a natural phenomena of life. How does suffering come to haunt an otherwise placid life is a big riddle. Theists in various cultures have tried to explain it in various ways, and atheists have no explanation. Atheists have taken the existence of evil and the suffering as a natural phenomena, may be linked to desires, may be to the circumstances, buts always explicable through a pure materialistic view point - of inherent tendencies of men, of accidents, of natural deaths and destruction and so on. Every sorrowful event can be explained as one causing problem and suffering but there is no reason to find a meaning in them. One question that atheists tend to ignore are why are there so much varied conditions in life? Why are some born with silver spoon in their mouth while others are born in thatched huts or probably on streets. Why people are born poor and die

Scum Bag # 1: The moral and intellectual depravity of a certain section that claims over whatsapp messages and through social media that the Government perpetrated the killing of the jawans for electoral gains - We cannot get any lower than this. The politicians and political parties that are doing this are the worst enemies of the nation and need to be dumped. The media that is providing credence to such statements need to be boycotted. Silence of the good is no longer viable. If you are silent you are a party to the crime Known perpetrators - 1) Congress's leader in Gujarat and therefore the Congress party as a whole, since no disciplinary step has been taken against her. This can well become Congress narrative in days to come, esp. it being an election year. Also if the Government takes some decisive action the shrillness of such allegations may increase. 2) An IT cell of a political party in Bengal, perhaps TMC, because the whatspp message is being circulated in Bengali 3) Me

One of the numerous whatspp post that I received had been something like this: A Friend: I have stopped believing in God, I think, God & Religion are all created to hoodwink people. These are like Narcotics. Now the friend has an absolute right to become an atheist and state his personal beliefs, perhaps with an intention of instigating some of the non atheists for a debate. But the word "narcotics" is a very strong statement and here his hidden intentions are revealed. Quite sometime ago Marx had called religion to be an opium of the masses. It became a catchy phrase with the communists worldwide. This is also popular among the so called atheists and agnostics. However when a believer may turn unto them and speak out her mind saying that, may be, its just a may be, that their obsession with the world and the worldliness, the materialistic and pure sensual pleasures, is some kind of an addiction too as they are not really able to come out of it for a purposeful life,

What characterizes Narendra Modi is that he is a master politician, far above his counterparts in shrewdness, in audacity and in boldness, something his opponents and haters would never be able to fathom, nor emulate. Compared to him, Rahul Gandhi who is trying hard to position himself as his main opponent is a child, nay, a baby perhaps. Rahul's job is made harder by the fact that he is lifted up by a gang of sycophants and a herd of leftists, many of whom have little or no connect with grassroots, and of course even less concern for the national interests. Others who are actively positioning themselves as champions of secularism and also supporting him are one whose interests have been most affected by Modi's transparent policies - notably the corrupt politicians many of whom are busy sewing what they call as "Mahagathbandhan". TV channels and other sections of media are busy writing Modi off based on some flimsy pre election surveys or some by election results. B
