New Blog Explores Group Theory Meets Deep Learning with Interactive Sphere Visuals
CatAstro_Piyush · x · 2026-09-22
Blogger baldwinIVth published a blog exploring the mathematical geometry behind deep learning, an idea born while reading Ian Goodfellow's Deep Learning book in college. After years of reading across the literature, the idea "converged into a sphere." The post features an interactive sphere called a "laboratory," LaTeX-based visuals, complex math broken into sidenotes, and a deliberately build-up-style exposition, serving as a more primitive precursor to his group theory x LLM piece.
