A Gentle Introduction to Graph Neural Networks
What components are needed for building learning algorithms that leverage the structure and properties of graphs?
Understanding Convolutions on Graphs
Understanding the building blocks and design choices of graph neural networks.
Distill Hiatus
After five years, Distill will be taking a break.
Weight Banding
Weights in the final layer of common visual models appear as horizontal bands. We investigate how and why.
Adversarial Reprogramming of Neural Cellular Automata
Reprogramming Neural CA to exhibit novel behaviour, using adversarial attacks.

Why Initialize a Neural Network with Random Weights?
Tweet Tweet Share Share Last Updated on August 15, 2022 The weights of artificial neural networks must be initialized to small random numbers. This is because this is an expectation of the stochastic optimization algorithm used to train the model, called stochastic gradient descent. To understand this approach to problem solving, you must first understand …

When to Use MLP, CNN, and RNN Neural Networks
Tweet Tweet Share Share Last Updated on August 15, 2022 What neural network is appropriate for your predictive modeling problem? It can be difficult for a beginner to the field of deep learning to know what type of network to use. There are so many types of networks to choose from and new methods being …
Difference Between a Batch and an Epoch in a Neural Network
Tweet Tweet Share Share Last Updated on August 15, 2022 Stochastic gradient descent is a learning algorithm that has a number of hyperparameters. Two hyperparameters that often confuse beginners are the batch size and number of epochs. They are both integer values and seem to do the same thing. In this post, you will discover …

Using Depthwise Separable Convolutions in Tensorflow
Tweet Tweet Share Share Last Updated on August 10, 2022 Looking at all of the very large convolutional neural networks such as ResNets, VGGs, and the like, it begs the question on how we can make all of these networks smaller with less parameters while still maintaining the same level of accuracy or even improving …
