To compute the movement of the state x(t), we need to temporally integrate its velocity field ẋ(t). 🤓
The control signal steering angle stays at 0, then 0.05π, then linearly to −0.20π. The vehicle moves along circumferences.
Finally, a sweep of initial velocity is performed.

Currently, writing chapter 10, «Planning and control».
Physical constrains for the evolution of the state (e.g. pure rotation of the wheels) are encoded through the velocity of the state ẋ = dx(t)/dt, a function of the state x(t) and the control u(t).

Releasing the Energy-Book 🔋 from its first appendix's chapter, where I explain how I create my figures. 🎨
Feel free to report errors via the issues' tracker, contribute to the exercises, and show me what you can draw, via the discussion section. 🥳

Yeah, it took me 20 days to get back 🥹🥹🥹
I swear I respond to instant messages as they get through! 🥲🥲🥲
Anyhow, one more successful semester completed. 🥳🥳🥳

In this lecture from my new undergrad course, we review linear multiclass classification, leverage backprop and gradient descent to learn a linearly separable feature vector for the input, and observe the training dynamics in a 2D embedding space. 🤓

This is different from the video I made 5 years ago, where the input-output linear interpolation of an already trained network shows what a neural net does to its input. Namely, it follows a piece-wise linear mapping defined by the hidden layer.

Training of a 2 → 100 → 2 → 5 fully connected ReLU neural net via cross-entropy minimisation.
• it starts outputting small embeddings
• around epoch 300 learns an identity function
• takes 1700 epochs more to unwind the data manifold

In today's episode, we review the concepts of loss ℒ(𝘄, 𝒟), per-sample loss L(𝘄, x, y), binary cross-entropy cost ℍ(y, ỹ) = y softplus(−s) + (1−y) softplus(s), ỹ = σ(𝘄ᵀ𝗳(x)).
Then, we minimised the loss by choosing convenient values for our weight vector 𝘄.

Hey, @neuripsconf.bsky.social, posters on the penultimate panel side are invisible. 🫥 There’s no light! This is extremely unfair for the presenter! See brightness comparison below. 👇🏻
