sendpoint: a study room for restricted Boltzmann machines

Field notes

The visible lesson is organized as a branching concept map rather than a linear article. It begins with an RBM goal, then connects energy, contrastive divergence, Gibbs sampling, and mixing time through expandable explanations and a worked example using two visible bits and one hidden unit. The example reports a 30% probability for the favored v = 11, h = 1 state under the displayed weights, while the interface also lets readers select a phrase and pull the explanation into the current thread.
