The Modern Mathematics of Deep Learningexplained for non-mathematicians

Function infinity norm

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.

Norms and distances · Measure size or difference in a specified space.

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].

The L∞ norm is the essential supremum of the absolute value of a function, ignoring sets of measure zero.

It bounds function size almost everywhere.

Source formula example

illustration · The example assumes every listed point has positive measure; general essential suprema need not be attained.

Symbols

L∞L∞
Functions essentially bounded under the relevant measure.
KK
The domain set where stated.

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.
