The Modern Mathematics of Deep Learningexplained for non-mathematicians

Two index variables

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.

Sets and notation · Describe domains, indices and membership.

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: 5.2 When parameters move only a little · 8.2 Equations as guides

Each listed index belongs to the stated finite index set.

Several indices can independently select entries.

Source formula example

i,j∈[n]i,j\in[n]

illustration · The example enumerates two indices; three indices are selected by the same rule.

Symbols

i,j,k,ℓ,si, j, k, ℓ, s
Integer indices in the indicated range.
n,n+,d+1n, n₊, d+1
Positive integer bounds in their respective expressions.

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.
