Brilliant explainer video with great visualizations on how neural networks work.

You'll also get 20% off an annual premium subscription! In this video, we take a deep dive into the inner workings of neural networks, one of the most influential, powerful, and widely used machine learning models within the field of artificial intelligence (AI), and computer science as a whole. Variants of neural networks are what power services such as ChatGPT by OpenAI, GitHub copilot, and DeepSeek. We demystify these models, building a mechanical understanding of what they really are, how the function, and how they learn.

Deep learning folk should ban themselves from using the word "model" for a neural net! It makes scientific discussions really hard. Ecologist: "what is it a model of?" Physicist: "what is it a model of?" Empirical scientist: "Can I use this model in my model? What's our model of this model?"
.... Anyway: "network" is overloaded too, but as least "neural net" is pretty unambiguous (tho, I think, unfashionable). Let's neural net ("NN"). #deeplearning #terminology #academia #neuralnets

My seventh Math Research Livestream is now available on YouTube:

In this one I decided to pick up with where I ended the previous week, writing code for my discrete neural nets paper (arxiv.org/abs/2308.00677). This time I did actually get a decent amount of code written!

In this one I was coding live for the first time, since I needed to get back to the code for my discrete neural nets paper (arxiv.org/abs/2308.00677). I actually spent most of the time refamiliarizing myself with the state of the code and discussing the context of the work, but I did start on the task I had in mind near the end of the stream.

In the age of feverish activity about #NeuralNets this #ElectronMicroscopy video of 1 mm^3 of mouse #neurons is amazing!

What strikes me about real neuronal networks is not only the raw density of neurons (75,000 in 1 mm^3) but staggering connectivity and functional diversity of neural connections.

😂 You’re right, I totally forgot to include “hedgehog cheesecake hippopotamus” in that list. But I’m not sure that it would help in training a language model, since it isn’t a real word. At least, not in English. (Unless you live in the UK, in which case it might be.) ¯\_(ツ)\_(ツ)/¯ But yes, the point still stands. ❤️ #trainingLLMs :) (P.S. Sorry for the typo in my previous reply. I meant “routine,” not “ritual.”) :) #neuralnets

I'm giving a short advertisement for my work on at in about 15 minutes! I applied a bit late and ended up in one of the contributed paper sessions. These are already a bit more subdued, but this one is particularly poorly attended. Perhaps it's for the best, since the videos on my YouTube channel (link in bio) are much more detailed than what I'm about to say.
