Gaussian
Last edited: August 8, 2025The Gaussian, in general, gives:
\begin{equation} e^{-\frac{ax^{2}}{2}} \end{equation}
which is a Bell-Shaped curve. It’s pretty darn important
solving heat equation without boundary
for general expression:
\begin{equation} \pdv{U}{t} = \alpha \pdv[2]{U}{x} \end{equation}
\begin{equation} U(t,x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{4\pi \alpha t}}\int_{\mathbb{R}} f(y) e^{-\frac{(x-y)^{2}}{4\alpha t}} \dd{y} \end{equation}
where,
\begin{equation} \hat{U}(t,\lambda) = \hat{f}(\lambda)e^{-\alpha t \lambda^{2}} \end{equation}
\begin{equation} \hat{U}(t,\lambda) = \hat{f}(\lambda)e^{-\lambda^{2}(t)} \end{equation}
Heat Equation and Gaussian
\begin{equation} H(t,x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi} t}e^{-\frac{x^{2}}{2t}} \end{equation}
You will note that \(H\) does satisfy the heat equation:
Gaussian elimination
Last edited: August 8, 2025The point of Gaussian elimination is to solve/identiy-ify a linear equation. Take, if you have a matrix expression:
\begin{equation} Ax = b \end{equation}
We can apply \(A^{-1}\) to both side, we then have:
\begin{equation} A^{-1}Ax = A^{-1} b \end{equation}
Applying the definition of the identity:
\begin{equation} Ix = A^{-1}b \end{equation}
Therefore, to solve for some \(A^{-1}\), which would yield \(x\).

gear
Last edited: August 8, 2025Here’s a list of gears that I like and stuff that I use.
clothing
t-shirt
MUJI Washed Heavy Weight Crew Neck
If you ever have the pleasure of buying these in China, you should. It’s cheaper there. This is a white T-Shirt, its 100% cotton, its heavy, you can wipe your glasses with it, why not?
shorts
Amazon Essential Inseam Drawstring
They are like very basic shorts; they are a nice quality, don’t seem to break, and is drawstring instead of rubber band which makes them nice to adjust.
General Inference
Last edited: August 8, 2025See inference.
In general, the joint probability distribution tables are very hard to solve because it requires—for instance for binary variables—requries \(2^{n}\) entires, which is a lot.
- how do you define very large models?
- how do you perform inference with very large models
- what about the data can we use to inform the design process
“If you can tell me a generative story, we can compress our joint probability distribution”. Get ready for…… inference with causality with Baysian Network.
