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in AI/ML, has compiled notes that prioritize intuition, context, and clear explanations, avoiding dense notation and outdated material.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.
Alan Turing and John von Neumann saw it early: the logic of life and the logic of code may be one and the same. This article explores the idea that life, at its core, might be computational, drawing parallels between DNA, computation, and the work of Turing and von Neumann.
PhD student Sarah Alnegheimish is developing Orion, an open-source, user-friendly machine learning framework for detecting anomalies in large-scale industrial and operational settings. She focuses on making machine learning systems accessible, transparent, and trustworthy, and is exploring repurposing pre-trained models for anomaly detection.
