Visual explanations of core machine learning concepts
- elevaet 4y agoNicely done, only part-way through and I've already learned a ton from this. As others have pointed out there seem to be some bugs in the scrolling animations, but they do help explain.
- codedeadlock 4y agoThis is neat and reminds me of R2D3 articles [1], how are these visualisations made? I know the hard way is hand-coding every aspect with D3, is there any simple framework that helps out in creating visual stories like these?

- lvl102 4y agoHave you tried Vega? It sits on top of D3.
- jwilber 4y agoEach article's specific resources are listed at the bottom of the articles, but you're right - right now the articles are made using D3, IntersectionObserver API (for scrolling), and vanilla js. Newer articles use svelte instead of vanilla js, for the following reasons: declarative markup makes constructing charts easier, component-scoped styles make collaboration easier, reactivity allows easy sharing of events between charts, and responsiveness is much, much easier (reactive width/height). No simple framework exists yet per se, they pretty much all require getting down and dirty on the dataviz side of things. That said, there is some good progress on the interactive article side, the best of which I can think of is Matthew Conlen's Idyll: https://idyll-lang.org/docs https://idyll-lang.org/docs
- derbOac 4y agoThe double descent discussion is interesting and insightful but oversimplified, IMHO. It would have been better if it had embraced the problem, in the sense of scope and unresolved issues.
- lvl102 4y agoI also recommend StatQuest for this type of quick review.
- cerved 4y agovery pretty but some of the fancy scroller effects bug out on my browser
- iddan 4y agoThis is great! As someone new to the field, concise explanations of the fundamentals are helpful.
