PlisSergey · x · 2026-07-19
This post compares two neural network visualizations: one illustrating "folding space until the answer becomes obvious," and another bringing back a similar perspective from 2014 to explain the concept. The core idea is that the classification points themselves don't move; what changes is the network layers' distortion and unfolding of the geometric space.
