Ziwei Li and Sai Ravela discuss how

  • The predictability of neural networks is near identical to the chaotic dynamics they learn from
  • This they argue is because neural Networks follow a path to chaos through alternate stretching and compression
  • Very few training...

Sai Ravela presents at Shell, arguing for theory-data symbiosis, which includes:

  • Models from theory suffer from nonlinearity, dimensionality and uncertainty
  • Models from data suffer from the above plus issues of generalization, extrapolation, and the representation of theory...

Based on catch data from an open population of animal exposed to a grid of traps for several days, we can accurately & precisely estimate the population density (abundance). We assume animals are terrestrial (not water or air), individual (not...
