Machine Learning Visualized is a Jupyter Book containing Jupyter Notebooks that implement and mathematically derive machine learning algorithms from first-principles.

There are also Interactive Notebooks built with Marimo that allow you to see how the weights influence the loss functions.

The output of each notebook is a visualization of the machine learning algorithm throughout its training phase, ultimately converging at its optimal weights.

There is a separate Github Repository for each machine learning algorithm. Thus, this repository is simply the code to configure and build the Jupyter Book. At a very high level, Jupyter Books allow you to build a website with Markdown files and Jupyter Notebooks. Notice that none of the Jupyter Notebooks are in this repository. There is a SH script to download the relevant Jupyter Notebooks from other Github Repos. Once that is complete, the Jupyter Book can be built. The website is updated using the GitHub Action at .github/workflows/ci.yml after every commit or pull request. To build the website locally, see the Usage section below.

Jupyter Notebooks

Jupyter Book Info

Table of Contents and structure of the book is specified at _toc.yml.

Configuration is specified at _config.yml.

For more information, check out the Jupyter Book Docs.

Usage

Step 1: Download the Jupyter Notebooks

chmod +x ./download_notebooks.sh
./download_notebooks.sh

Step 2: Building the Jupyter Book

Option 1: jupyter-book CLI

pip install -U jupyter-book
jupyter-book build .

Option 2: Docker Compose

docker compose run jupyter-book 
docker compose down --volumes --rmi local

Option 3: Docker

docker build -f Dockerfile.book -t jupyter-book .
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/usr/src/app jupyter-book

docker stop jupyter-book
docker rm jupyter-book
docker rmi jupyter-book

Step 3: Open the Jupyter Book

Navigate to _build/html/index.html

Build EPUB (NEW)

brew install --cask mactex
nbmerge $(ls chapter1/*.ipynb chapter2/*.ipynb chapter3/*.ipynb chapter4/*.ipynb | sort) -o book/combined.ipynb
jupyter nbconvert --to latex book/combined.ipynb

docker build -f Dockerfile.pandoc -t my-pandoc .
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/data my-pandoc pandoc book/main.tex -o book/main.epub --mathml --embed-resources --standalone

Output

@XAMTO_AI: What's the biggest trap in machine learning for beginners? Either the tutorials are full of fluff and leave you still confused, or they just throw code at you and you run it without understanding why. There's a gem on GitHub: Machine Learning Visualized, which directly visualizes the algorithm training process - showing how weights are updated, how they converge, etc.
