The Modern Mathematics of Deep Learning

An input and target random pair

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

In supervised learning a random example Z consists of random input X and random target Y.

Their joint distribution describes possible input-target pairs.

Source formula example

Z=(X,Y)

illustration · This enumerates a finite joint law; general distributions can have infinitely many outcomes.

Symbols

$Z$: The random pair (X,Y).
$X, Y$: Random input and target.
$𝒳, 𝒴$: Their respective spaces.

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.
