When I think about AI, I think about topology. Topology is a big scary math word that basically means 'the study of surfaces'. Imagine you had a surface made of play-doh. You could bend it, or twist it, or stretch it. But as long as you don't rip the play-doh up, or poke a hole through it, you can define certain properties that would remain true regardless of the deformation you apply. Here's an example. Let's say I flatten out my play-doh and then draw a circle on it. I could rotate it, or ben

Towards the cutest neural network Published: 2025 April 28 I recently needed to use a microcontroller to estimate the pose (translation and orientation) of an object using readings from six different sensors. Since the readings were non-linear and coupled with each other, an explicit analytical solution was out of the question. I figured I’d have a go at using a simple neural network to approximate it: generate training data (on my computer) using a forward simulation (pose to sensor reading

A hypernetwork estimates parameters $\{\mathbf{b}_1, \mathbf{W}_2\}^{(i,j)}$ of pixel-wise, local neural heat fields. The phase shifts $\mathbf{b}_1$ operate on globally learned components, before thermal activations scale each component depending on their frequency and the desired scaling factor. The components are then linearly combined using coefficients $\mathbf{W}_2$, resulting in an appropriately-blurred, continuous local neural field.
