Statistical Mechanics, Hopfield Network and Boltzmann Machine
Contains links to drafts of blogs on these topics.
Last year, I started my blogging journey and wrote blogs on the Boltzmann Machine (BM), Hopfield Network (HN) and statistical mechanics, respectively. I am sharing here links to drafts of these blogs and corresponding code. These blogs are almost in their prefinal version.
Why did I start blogging? Why did I choose these topics? Why didn’t I complete them? What am I now focusing on? Answers to all these questions can be found in this blog - Setting The Tone.
Here are (Notion) links. And code for BM and HN:
- Blog-Thermodynamics-Statistical Mechanics-Ising Model-AI
- Blog - Hopfield Network (Code)
- Blog - Boltzmann Machine (Code)
All these blogs are a little messy. You would find the grey-coloured text redundant. I tried to make blogs self-contained. And there are complete, clean derivations of required equations for HN and BM.
Fun Fact: In September 2024, I decided to study the Hopfield Network and the Boltzmann Machine, and on 8th October, 2024, the Nobel Prize in Physics was announced, and it was given to the creators of these two algorithms. It was unusual because HN and BM didn’t extend the knowledge of physics.
