Reinforcement Learning and Deep RL Python Theory and Projects - DNN Gradient Descent Implementation

The video tutorial explains the process of setting up a simple neural network model using a sigmoid unit, initializing parameters, and implementing gradient descent to minimize the loss function. It covers the steps involved in computing the loss, backpropagation, and updating weights over multiple iterations. The tutorial highlights the decrease in loss with each iteration and sets the stage for more complex models in future videos.
