Mapping intrinsic rank and informational gravity in complex tabular data: I developed a non-parametric, model-agnostic, information-theoretic diagnostic to bypass the limits of linear, rank, and Euclidean baselines. [R]
Navigating complex tabular data often reveals limitations with standard dimensionality reduction techniques like PCA. To address this, I’ve developed a non-parametric, model-agnostic diagnostic leveraging information theory to bypass these constraints. The "Entropic Scree" accurately maps intrinsic rank and “informational gravity,” distinguishing shared signal from noise and revealing hidden topological structures—even in datasets where features exceed samples. Explore the methodology and open-source framework on GitHub to transform your data exploration and inform architectural decisions for downstream AI models.
Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) Explained: From Theory to ELBO and the Reparameterization Trick
Delve into Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), a powerful generative modeling technique, with our comprehensive, math-first walkthrough. This post systematically explores VAE theory, from the core concepts to the crucial Evidence Lower Bound (ELBO) and the reparameterization trick—essential for enabling efficient training. Understand how VAEs learn to generate new data by mastering these key components.

A Gentle Introduction to Autoencoders & Latent Space
Heavy computation poses a significant challenge in modern machine learning, particularly within generative AI. To address this, autoencoders offer a powerful solution: compressing data into a lower-dimensional representation while retaining essential context. This approach unlocks efficiency and enables more manageable workflows. “A Gentle Introduction to Autoencoders & Latent Space” explores this transformative technique, providing accessible insights into its core principles.
