Projecting inputs and targets

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.

Observations and sampling · Describe examples, targets and samples.

The selected rows supply measurements and known answers to training; held-out IDs remain separate.

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

T₁ extracts the input from an example and T₂ extracts the target.

Projection functions recover parts of a data example.

Source formula example

x(i)=T1(z(i))∈Xx^{(i)}=T_{1}(z^{(i)})\in{\mathcal{X}}

illustration · This uses pair-valued examples; the source allows more general data spaces with suitable projections.

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.

Technical statement

The numerical values are invented. This uses pair-valued examples; the source allows more general data spaces with suitable projections.
