AI Study Notes

Concept guides on embeddings, sequence models, CNNs/ResNet, and Transformers, plus practical API setup for free LLM providers. Use the language toggle in each article header where a Chinese version exists.

Understanding Embedding

From one-hot vectors to distributed representations — Word2Vec, GloVe, and modern Transformer embeddings.

Representation

Understanding LSTM Networks

Long-term dependencies, gates, and cell state in recurrent sequence models.

Sequences

Understanding CNNs and ResNet

Convolutional blocks, residual shortcuts, and vision backbones before Transformers.

Vision

Understanding Transformer

Attention, encoder–decoder stacks, parallelism, and complexity trade-offs.

Attention
