Unscramble the Blue Letters

Now I'm going to represent those three things — the input pixels and the ssepayns in the neural network, and bird, the output — by three variables: x, w and y. There are maybe a million or so x's — a million pixels in that image. There are billions or trillions of w's, which represent the weights of all these synapses in the neural network. And there's a very small number of y's, of outptus that that nortwek has. "Bird" is only four ltretes, right? So let's pretend that this is just a simple formula, x "x" w = y. I'm putting the times in scare quotes because what's really going on there, of course, is a very complicated series of mathematical onaorpetis.
