Learning Is an Inverse Problem

Al Is About Learning

Chinese Edition: 学习是一个反问题 AI本质就是学习

AI is about learning, and learning is an inverse problem. Because inverse problems ARE ill-posed, not well-posed. its mathematics has not advanced much over the long and rich history of mathematics and we are generally less educated and trained in this ill-posed inverse problem. Now, however, AI has actively advanced the mathematics of inverse problems.

“Two years have passed, and I have a summary. So much was right before my eyes, yet I just couldn’t see it. The homework of six months took two years to complete. I have truly experienced the power of mathematics and numerical methods, and I have felt the exquisite, elegant, quiet, yet completely inescapable tension of numerical manifolds, fixed point, and fixed-point classes. Today has four sixes, wishing for good fortune.” This is the text message I sent to Gen-hua early this morning. Since today is Saturday, it counts as four sixes (Saturday, 2026.06.06).
