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.

Source assumptions and notation · Interpret symbols and assumptions in a source statement.

The project supplies finite observations and fitted parameters. A held-out sample does not establish population bounds or prove a theorem.

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: 2.2 Weight size and room to decide · 3.2 Simple pieces, many layers

These expressions evaluate numerical factors involving depth L or width n in the source discussion.

The factors change as architecture size changes.

Source formula example

2L−12^{L-1}

illustration · This evaluates the expressions for one architecture; it does not establish an upper bound in general.

Symbols

LL
Network depth.
nn
Hidden-layer width.

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.
