Chris Olah posted a HN comment saying that he's been trying for the last 10 years to find a use of topology in ML to no avail. This is surprising, for us topology is definitely one of the pillars. E.g. interpreting RL through the lens of control theory makes some of these

Traceoid builds on concepts from harmonic analysis. It is surprising that the Fourier transform, a fundamental concept in harmonic analysis, has been used in Babylonian astronomy in 700 BC.

This esotericization of ML and and brain dynamics is counterproductive. While the two use different building blocks, they have the same goal: energy minimization. Yann LeCun was right all along.

Yann is really right about this, and it is funny that no one besides us at traceoid.ai is working on energy-based models (or anything else besides what is out there right now). Backprop and autodiff are cool and all but they are just stepping stones. Embrace the
