“The best time to learn is when truth conflicts with intuition.” — Chen-Ning Yang (paraphrased)
Hi! I am a phd student at UCLA studying deep learning theory (my personal website). Intuition is like the north star of my research journey. Thus I believe that continually fixing intuition is a very important part of learning.
Here, I collect ideas and facts that conflicted with my intuition, or for which I lacked a good intuition, when I encountered them. I suppose keeping these documented would be helpful to me, and hopefully, to you, the reader. I hope you enjoy the content!
If you would like to discuss more, need clarifiaction, or spot any mistake, please feel free to reach out.
