2.0.2

Patch release: the sample drawing now starts with Part I and keeps changing.

Changes

• The pad's sample digit starts drawing as soon as Part I appears, so the opener poster, the prediction readout and the figures all react from the first screen
• While you do nothing, a new digit replaces the previous one every 3 seconds
• The four samples (2, 4, 5 and 8) are now replayed exactly as they were hand-recorded, at a steady pace, with no random rotation
• Your first stroke, undo or clear still replaces the sample for good
• Scrolling past Part I without drawing still puts a finished sample at once, and reduced motion still shows a finished sample instead of an animation

2.0.1

Patch release: the pad draws a sample by itself and the page anchors are in English.

Changes

• When the pad is left untouched, a sample digit (2, 4, 5 or 8, hand-recorded) draws itself after two seconds at the pace of a real hand, labeled "Sample, draw your own"; your first stroke, undo or clear replaces it for good
• Scrolling past the pad without drawing puts a finished sample at once, so the figures below always have a drawing to read
• Reduced motion is respected: the sample appears finished instead of being animated
• Page anchors are now in English on both languages: #top, #part-1, #part-2 and #contents instead of #haut, #partie-1, #partie-2 and #sommaire

2.0.0

Major release: digit becomes neuron, an interactive essay on neural networks, "From ink to meaning", rebuilt from scratch.

Features

• Part I, seeing: draw a digit with a mouse, a finger or a stylus and the 784-256-256-10 network recognizes it live, with its pixels, layers, output probabilities and the weight field of each neuron
• Part II, reading: eleven chapters on attention in a transformer, from query, key and value to the dot product, softmax, the weighted sum, word order, multiple heads and the causal mask, around one French sentence
• A "tired / wide" switch changes a single word and shows how the attention of "il" moves
• A halftone visual identity where the area of a dot carries the value, with an automatic or manual light / dark theme
• English by default and French under /fr/, with language detection on the first visit and an Alt+L shortcut
• Chapter navigation with a table of contents, a floating pill and a progress indicator
• Everything runs in the browser: no server, no account, no data sent anywhere
• New address: neuron.sylvain.sh

Digit est en ligne sur digit.sylvain.pro !

Actuellement, il est possible de dessiner un chiffre sur une case à gauche, et une estimation du chiffre dessiné est faite. L'algorithme peut faire des erreurs mais pour l'instant c'est déjà pas mal !
Il donne une jauge de reconnaissance du chiffre, pour que vous puissiez voir à quel point il est proche de savoir ou non.
