🎓 Mathematics for Machine Learning - Linear Algebra 🎓

These are some great bite-sized lessons to get familiar with and gain some intuition about linear algebra concepts for machine learning.

💡 “To put it mildly, the competition seems absolutely insane to me, and seems to be exponentially increasing. Many top researchers claim they wouldn't have made it if the competition was like this when they started.”

💡 Now, researchers at DeepMind, a Google-owned artificial intelligence company, have used AI to study what’s happening to the molecules in glass as it hardens. DeepMind’s artificial neural network was able to predict how the molecules move over extremely long timescales, using only a “snapshot” of their physical arrangement at one moment in time. According to DeepMind’s Victor Bapst, even though the microscopic structure of a glass appears featureless, “the structure is maybe more predictive of the dynamics than people thought.”

Data science and the art of modelling

Hykel Hosni, Angelo Vulpiani

https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.04095

Datacentric enthusiasm is growing strong across a variety of domains. Whilst data science asks unquestionably exciting scientific questions, we argue that its contributions should not be extrapolated from the scientific context in which they originate. In particular we suggest that the simple-minded idea to the effect that data can be seen as a replacement for scientific modelling is not tenable. By recalling some well-known examples from dynamical systems we conclude that data science performs at its best when coupled with the subtle art of modelling

I'll be teaching our intro to proofs class in the fall. This is where our students first learn LaTeX. I spent the last few days making this video for them, "A Quick Introduction to #LaTeX."

Here's a link to the video: https://t.co/4MgbqxHaU9.
The topics I cover are shown.

Abstract: Thermodynamics provides a robust conceptual framework and set of laws that govern the exchange of energy and matter. Although these laws were originally articulated for macroscopic objects, nanoscale systems also exhibit “thermodynamic¬-like” behavior – for instance, biomolecular motors convert chemical fuel into mechanical work, and single molecules exhibit hysteresis when manipulated using optical tweezers. To what extent can the laws of thermodynamics be scaled down to apply to individual microscopic systems, and what new features emerge at the nanoscale? I will describe some of the challenges and recent progress – both theoretical and experimental – associated with addressing these questions. Along the way, my talk will touch on non-equilibrium fluctuations, “violations” of the second law, the thermodynamic arrow of time, nanoscale feedback control, strong system-environment coupling, and quantum thermodynamics.

The event is free and open to all, held on Zoom (pre-register)

Interesting new paper! Related questions about agency in/and/of networks has been gnawing at my side for years.
