This is an open, unconventional textbook covering mathematics, computing, and artificial intelligence from foundational principles. It's designed for practitioners seeking a deep understanding, moving beyond exam preparation and focusing on real-world application. The author, drawing from years of experience in AI/ML, has compiled notes that prioritize intuition, context, and clear explanations, avoiding dense notation and outdated material.
The compendium covers a broad range of topics, from vectors and matrices to machine learning, computer vision, and multimodal learning, with future chapters planned for areas like data structures and AI inference.
3D simulations and movement control with PyBullet. This article demonstrates how to build a 3D environment with PyBullet for manually controlling a robotic arm, covering setup, robot loading, movement control (position, velocity, force), and interaction with objects.
An Apple study shows that large language models (LLMs) can improve performance by using a checklist-based reinforcement learning scheme, similar to a simple productivity trick of checking one's work.
