How come that the weight matrix is already calculated without any inputs? Or did we entered inputs from any library? I’d expected the weight matrix elements to be zero.

we’re using an input matrix of 1s, from the line: input = tf.ones((1338, 11))

This line creates a matrix of shape (1338, 11) with a 1 in every position, essentially a dummy input.

Hello, have a question. Why 3, if we are looking to predict charges and charges doesn’t have 3 categories of output? what 3 has to do with features or charges? Thank you in advance.

I could be wrong, but I think the 3 just represents the number of neurons in this situation. You could think of it as the number of braincells thinking on an input you give them.
