AI/ML Learning Blog

A deep learning fundamentals blog covering neural networks, activation functions, optimization techniques, regularization, computer vision, and transfer learning. Built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — no frameworks, no build tools.

Articles

• Activation Functions — ReLU, Sigmoid, Tanh, Softmax explained with interactive comparisons
• Optimization Techniques — Feature scaling, batch norm, momentum, RMSProp, Adam, LR decay
• Regularization Techniques — L1, L2, Dropout, Data Augmentation, Early Stopping
• Transfer Learning for CIFAR-10 — EfficientNetB0 frozen backbone, 87–89% accuracy in under 3 minutes
• AlexNet Paper Walkthrough — Deep dive into the architecture that sparked modern deep learning
• Data Augmentation — Techniques to expand your dataset and improve generalization

Features

• Dark / Light mode — persists across sessions via localStorage
• Interactive mind map — click any topic node to jump to its article
• Responsive grid layout — works on desktop, tablet, and mobile
• Typography — Syne (headings), Lora (body), JetBrains Mono (code)
• Zero external dependencies — no CDNs, no build tools, no frameworks
• GitHub Pages ready — push to main, enable Pages, and it's live

Run Locally

cd my-blog
python3 -m http.server 8000
# → http://localhost:8000

Or with Node:

npx serve .

Add a New Article

1. Create a new .html file in articles/ (use an existing one as a template)
2. The back link at the top should point to ../index.html
3. Add a card to the .art-grid in index.html
4. Add a node to the SVG mind map (optional)
5. Commit and push

File Naming Convention

Use kebab-case (lowercase with hyphens):

• activation-functions.html ✓
• cifar10-transfer-learning.html ✓
• my-new-article.html ✓

Deployment

Push to main on GitHub. In Settings → Pages, select the main branch root. Your site is live at https://egigj-dev.github.io/my-blog/.

Tech Stack

• HTML5 + CSS3 — no frameworks
• Vanilla JavaScript — theme toggle, interactive mind map
• SVG — knowledge graph visualization
