Open-Source Project Visualizes and Derives ML Algorithms from First Principles
Roger_M_Taylor · x · 2026-08-12
Recommends an open-source project and website called Machine Learning Visualized. The project implements and mathematically derives various machine learning algorithms from first principles using NumPy within Jupyter Notebooks.
It also features interactive notebooks built with Marimo, allowing users to visually observe how weight changes impact loss functions. The notebooks provide dynamic visualizations of the algorithms throughout their training phases until they converge to optimal weights. The repo has garnered over 1.8k stars on GitHub.
