Interactive walkthroughs

Papers, explained

Research papers rebuilt as scroll-driven explainers — with the diagrams redrawn, the mathematics kept, and the mechanisms made playable.

Supervise the Patches You Did Not Hide

V-JEPA understood video but its feature maps were noise. One extra loss term on the visible tokens turns a world model into a dense one. With the algorithm and the full ablation.

Predict the Meaning, Not the Pixels

I-JEPA hides most of a photograph and predicts what the hidden parts would mean — no cropping, no colour jitter, no decoder. With the algorithm and every ablation.

Proximal Policy Optimization

Take the biggest step you can without ruining the policy you already have. One clipped ratio replaces a second-order trust region — with the clipping surface, GAE and the full surrogate ablation, all playable.

One Episode at a Time

Everyone runs REINFORCE with a single trajectory per update, but every proof needed the batch size to grow without bound. This closes the gap — with every symbol explained and drawn.

Sparse sensing · Kriging + learned residual

Kriging-Conditioned Reconstruction

Place a few sensors by greedy variance reduction, rebuild the flow with kriging, and let a network learn only what kriging misses.

The Composition Axis

One set of weights for any team size and split — flown on a physically grounded quadrotor twin, with the scripted controller as a training participant.

Mastering Diverse Domains

DreamerV3 builds a model of its world and improves by imagining futures inside it. One configuration, 150+ tasks, and the first diamonds in Minecraft from scratch.
