Specific layer widths

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.

Prediction rules and layers · Describe or apply prediction rules, layers and parameters.

The project uses a linear rule with two features. The fitted weights produce scores or normalized mass.

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: 1.2.2 Can the network express the answer? · 3.1 A rule based on distance

The source includes architectures with widths (2,4,1) and (1,2,1).

Widths specify the size of each input, hidden, and output layer.

Source formula example

N=(2,4,1)

illustration · This reports widths only; it does not reproduce the source figures.

Symbols

$N$: A sequence of layer widths.
$a$: The architecture together with its activation.

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.

This example’s data flow

Initial values in code

architectures = [ [2, 4, 1], [1, 2, 1], ]

Calculated here

Result expression: { architectures, depths: architectures.map((N) => N.length - 1) }
