| | [AI summary] This text provides a comprehensive overview of differentiable programming, focusing on its application in machine learning and image processing. It explains the fundamentals of automatic differentiation, including forward and backward passes, and demonstrates how to implement these concepts in a custom framework. The text also discusses higher-order differentiation and its implementation in frameworks like JAX and PyTorch. A practical example is given using differentiable programming to de-blur an image, showcasing how optimization techniques like gradient descent can be applied to solve real-world problems. The text emphasizes the importance of differentiable programming in enabling efficient and flexible computation for various domains, includ...

| | This article explains how these four things fit together and shows some examples of what they are used for. Derivatives Derivatives are the most fundamental concept in calculus. If you have a function, a derivative tells you how much that function changes at each point. If we start with the function $latex y=x^2-6x+13$, we can...

| Recently, a friend recommended me a book, Deep Learning with Python by Francois Chollet. As an eager learner just starting to fiddle with the Keras API, I decided it was a good starting point. I have just finished the first section of Part 2 on Convolutional Neural Networks and image processing. My impression so far is that the book is more focused on code than math. The apparent advantage of this approach is that it shows readers how to build neural networks very transparently. It's also a good introduction to many neural network models, such as CNNs or LSTMs. On the flip side, it might leave some readers wondering why these models work, concretely and mathematically. This point notwithstanding, I've been enjoying the book very much so far, and this post is...
