I think you need to decide who the target audience is.

If it is just for your own understanding of the topic, and you have no intent of building up a base of viewers, what you have is fine enough. It is equivalent to a math lecture found in most colleges.

But, you are here asking for feedback. Coupled with your plan for regular weekly posts to suit youtube's algorithm, this suggests you do want an audience. In which case, I would say your current target audience would likely be an expert who is looking for a reminder, or to look at how someone else presents the lecture.

If you are looking for more of an audience, you need an introduction. You are jumping straight into the details without explaining what it is you are presenting, why is this important, how or where it is used. You are not setting up a context for the viewer to get a frame of reference for what you are explaining, so it took me close to 3 minutes of watching before I even knew what it is you were even attempting to explain.

Thank you for the comment.

My target audience is people who would like to understand concepts in machine learning but want the concepts to be individually packaged as one concept per video, compared to other ML youtubers or lectures which may cover many topics in one video and can feel overwhelming. Additionally, my focus is to be as clear as possible, provide an example in certain cases, but be more math oriented as I previously mentioned. I do wish to build an audience in the future, but the quality of my videos and the Youtube channel being important to my learning process is primary. One reason for wanting to build an audience is to ensure that the videos I make are actually useful for others as well. That's why I asked for feedback.

I further agree that I need a better introduction, maybe an example of where and how this concept can be used, and why we need it. I will keep this in mind for future videos. Thanks for your feedback!
