Behold one of the mightiest tools in mathematics: the camel principle. I am dead serious. Deep down, this tiny rule is the cog in many methods. Ones that you use every day. Here...
"Probability is the logic of science." There is a deep truth behind this conventional wisdom: probability is the mathematical extension of logic, augmenting our reasoning toolkit...
The single biggest argument about statistics: is probability frequentist or Bayesian? It's both, and I'll explain why. Buckle up. Deep-dive thread below. https://t.co/NPsqb1orbk
I hand-picked 7+1 free online courses that'll teach you all the math you need in machine learning. Use these to build substantial math knowledge from zero:
There is one big reason we love the logarithm function in machine learning. Logarithms help us reduce complexity by turning multiplication into addition. You might not know it, bu...
Permutations are one of the fundamental building blocks of mathematics, used everywhere from algebra through probability to computer science. Knowing how to count them is an essen...
Matrix factorizations are the pinnacle results of linear algebra. From theory to applications, they are behind many theorems, algorithms, methods. However, it is easy to get lost...
"Probability is the logic of science." There is a deep truth behind this conventional wisdom: probability is the mathematical extension of logic, augmenting our reasoning toolkit...
The single most undervalued fact of linear algebra: matrices are graphs, and graphs are matrices. Encoding matrices as graphs is a cheat code, making complex behavior simple to st...
Taking a walk can change the course of science. Roaming the streets of KΓΆnigsberg, Euler was working on a simple puzzle: can he cross each of the city's bridges exactly once? The...
There is a mind-blowing application of matrix multiplication: doing recursion (almost) at the speed of light! By the end of this thread, you'll learn precisely how. Trust me, if...
What is the single most important concept in statistics? Conditional probability. Without a way to account for prior information in our models, statistical models would be useless...
