i could it add it into SA Needful easily enough - there are javascript libraries for latex parsing of course, but it would obviously rely on other people actually using it to also see the results

i should be 'publishing' my first paper this week, hooray

'publishing' because there's no actual value in me getting it published or taking it to a conference since it's more a bioscience paper than a ML paper and im not in academia anyway. so it's just gonna get uploaded to biorxiv and the code stuck on github. but still!

it's not a pass thing, it's a side effect thing. modules can contain expressions to run at initialization time, so they have to be ordered into a dag

MACHINE LEARNING AND MATHS


  • next you need a book that transitions you from high-school applied maths to undergraduate proof-based maths. i have completely forgotten what i used to make the hop, and i don't want to recommend anything without checking it myself. will come back and edit something in later.


i am following up on this incredibly good post from several pages ago to ask if you recalled what book this was

i did; it turns out my first courses on maths at uni were supported just by notes. notes that are, in hindsight, not that great. instead im gonna say go with How to Prove It: A Structured Approach. it wasn't the first book on proof i read, but it's one of the best. the stuff it covers isn't directly relevant to linear alg or ML, but it turns up all over the place anyway and i think it works well as a friendly intro to mathematical thinking.

that said, the foundations of maths are pretty wide. you can get into logic, probability, set theory, graph theory, real analysis (think of 'analysis' as 'rigorous calculus' for now), discrete maths (combinatorics/counting) and a bunch of other stuff without needing much in the way of prerequisites, and they'll all serve well as intros to mathematical thinking. if any of those pique your interest, the easiest way to tell if you can handle a maths book is to read the preface (where the author will usually mention the audience it's intended for) then try to read the first chapter (usually titled 'preliminaries' or w/e) on Amazon or the author's website or LibGen. if it all seems very easy, you're probably ready for it. if there's stuff you're unfamiliar with in the first few pages, back off and find a more foundational book.

nb: books for fresh undergrads are commonly titled 'a first course in'/'introductory'/'foundations of', but so are books for fresh postgrads. read the first chapter before buying!

any good recs for stats? i have taken like four probability classes (and the typical haul of calc and linear algebra and poo poo) but basically no statistics and it seems like a huge gaping hole especially wrt ML
