The Modern Mathematics of Deep Learning

Continuous functions

Penguin learning project

The project uses 342 complete Palmer penguin records: 240 training-pool and 102 held-out rows. The selected training rows determine feature scaling and model parameters. Source CSV

This project trains weights with softmax, unlike the homepage lab, which uses nearest species averages. Same penguin measurements; different classification methods. Predictions can differ.

Functions and derivatives · Describe maps and how their outputs change.

Project vectors have two features; the training matrix has n rows and two columns. Mathematical tools may operate on these values when their assumptions apply.

Consider this concept alongside the project; its source assumptions may differ. These observations do not prove a theorem.

Input: 12 × 2; Held-out evaluation: 102 · #58 · 40.6 mm, 193 mm. Known answer: Adélie; Prediction: Adélie · [≈0.7383, ≈0.2444, ≈0.01737].

Used in these source sections: 1.2 Learning from examples · 1.2.2 Can the network express the answer?

C(A,B) denotes continuous functions from A to B. A polynomial is one example of a continuous function.

Continuity is a condition on allowed functions.

Source formula example

\varrho\in C({\mathbb{R}})

illustration · One evaluation cannot prove continuity; this polynomial is continuous, while the source allows other continuous functions.

Symbols

$C(A,B)$: Continuous functions from A to B.
$ϱ$: A real-to-real activation.
$g$: A continuous function with the stated domain and output dimension.
$K$: The domain set in the relevant occurrence.
$m$: The output dimension.

Source formula example

This source example uses its own inputs and assumptions. Editing it does not change the project.

Edit a value or the code, then run the example. This is a finite demonstration, not a proof of the paper’s theorem.
