Omnia mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis.
All things change, and we change with them.

I read computation broadly: algorithms, machine learning, and the means by which models get built and interpreted. What interests me is how a procedure changes what you can represent and test, as much as how it is implemented.

Emphases

  • algorithmic structure
  • machine learning and statistical models
  • computational representation and inference
  • interfaces between symbolic and numerical reasoning

Use

This section includes notes that bear on both implementation and concept formation, especially where computation touches mathematics, graphics, and physics.
