PreambleThe simplest explanation is always the best among the explanations that are representative. It is called the principle of parsimony, Occam's razor. It is the bedrock of scientific enlightenment. There is a recent development that people start to do a category error to discard this...
Preamble Occam (Wikipedia)A misconception that overfitted model can be identified with the amount of generalisation gap between model's training and test sets over its learning curves is still out there. Even in some prominent online lectures and blog posts, this misconception is now repeated...
Preamble Babylonian Tablet for square root of 2. (Wikipedia)Prediction implies a mechanics, as in knowing a form of a trajectory over time. Strictly speaking a predictive system implies knowing a solution to the path, set of variable depending on time, time evolution of the system under...
Preamble Walt Disney Hall, Los Angeles (Wikipedia)Unfortunately, it is still thought in machine learning classes that overfitting can be detected by comparing training and test learning curves on the single model's performance. The origins of this misconception is unknown. Looks like an...
Preamble Figure: Moon patterns human brain invents. (Wikipedia)Detecting overfitting is inherently a comparison problem of the complexity of multiple objects, i.e., models or an algorithm capable of making predictions. A model is overfitted (underfitted) if we only compare it to another model....
Preamble George Boole (Wikipedia)Agent, AI agent or an intelligent agent is used often to describe algorithms or AI systems that are released by research teams recently. However, the definition of an intelligent agent (IA) is a bit opaque. Naïvely thinking, it is nothing more than a decision...

Preamble Figure: Monalisa on Eigenvector grids (Wikipedia)In the post, A New Matrix Mathematics for Deep Learning : Random Matrix Theory of Deep Learning, we have outlined a new mathematical concepts that are aimed at deep learning but in general belonging to applied mathematics. Here, we dive...
