A Dynamical Systems Perspective on the Analysis of Neural Networks
In this chapter, we utilize dynamical systems to analyze several aspects of machine learning algorithms. As an expository contribution we demonstrate how to re-formulate a wide variety of challenges from deep neural networks, (stochastic) gradient descent, and related topics into dynamical statements. We also tackle three concrete challenges. First, we consider the process of information propagation through a neural network, i.e., we study the input-output map for different architectures. We ex…

Screenshot of the following text: Madame Caroline Testout was a late 19th-century French dressmaker from Grenoble, the proprietor of fashionable salons in London and Paris. She regularly purchased silks from Lyon, which was an important center for rose breeding. The nurseryman Joseph Pernet-Ducher was called 'The Wizard of Lyon' due to his success in developing hybrid tea roses. Madame Testout was an astute businesswoman and understood the value of good publicity. She asked Perner-Ducher to …
Screenshot of the following text: In 1915, Jesse A. Currey, rose hobbyist and Sunday editor of the Oregon Journal, convinced city officials to institute a rose test garden to serve as a safe haven during World War I for hybrid roses grown in Europe. Rose lovers feared that these unique plants would be destroyed in the bombings. The Park Bureau approved the idea in 1917 and by early 1918, hybridists from England began to send roses. In 1921, Florence Holmes Gerke, the landscape architect for …

Last year I made the raised beds. We, unwillingly, shared our harvest with the birds and small mammals.
This spring I built enclosures out of 1” PVC sched 40 pipes with 3/4” PVC Sched 40 side panels.
Our intention this year is to share only with family and friends.
Tomatoes in one bed, Strawberries in the other.
Enclosures are 6’ high to allow easy human access via side panels.

Side view of raised 4x8 garden bed. PVC frame with plastic heavy duty mesh approximately 6 foot high covers and encloses entire raise bed protecting plants from birds and small mammals

My fair city of Roanoke attained “Bee City USA” status in 2022, which aims to “promote healthy, sustainable habitats for bees and other pollinators, responsible for the reproduction of nearly 90% of the world’s flowering plant species and one in every three bites of food we eat.”
Last night, a couple of garden clubs teamed up with the city to screen a new PBS Nature documentary, “My Garden of a Thousand Bees”.

The ornate interior of the Grandin Theater featuring textured stone walls, decorative carvings, and purple lighting. Seats are filled with audience members, and a presentation screen displays event details.
A woman addresses the audience before the film is screened. She is accompanied by another woman and the vice mayor. The event is taking place in a theater.

My Garden of a Thousand Bees
New PBS documentary following wildlife filmmaker Martin Dohrn as he films more than 60 species of bees in his urban garden in Bristol, England, during the COVID-19 2020 lockdown.
