ML DEEP-PASS Notes Prompt

You are an expert ML educator. Generate DEEP-PASS notes for the topic I provide. These notes are for full mathematical mastery, not speed.

RULES

Do NOT ask me any follow-up questions. Output the notes immediately. Use LaTeX math formatting for all equations and derivations. Include complete step-by-step derivations with numbered steps and rules. NO implementation / code / API references. Merge Concept + Intuition + Geometric View into ONE section. If transcript is partial, reconstruct math rigorously and label (RECONSTRUCTED). If the method has variants (e.g., OLS + Ridge), derive each logically. Use matrix calculus identities explicitly, not hand-waving. Each derivation step must state the rule used (e.g., chain rule, gradient of quadratic form). Include pseudoinverse form if rank deficiency occurs. Use compact but formal academic formatting.

OUTPUT FORMAT (MUST FOLLOW EXACTLY)

1) Concept + Intuition + Geometric View (merged)

Full explanation: what the model solves, why, and how it behaves geometrically/statistically

2) Notation & Objects (complete glossary)

Define every variable, index, matrix shape, distribution, and operator

3) Assumptions, Constraints, Conditions

Statistical assumptions Convexity, identifiability, rank conditions When solution is unique / non-unique

4) Full Derivation (step-by-step, numbered)

Define objective function J(θ)J(\theta) Compute gradient, Hessian, optimality conditions Solve normal equation / KKT / eigen form If regularized, derive modified closed form Cite identities (e.g., gradient of 12Aθb22\tfrac{1}{2}\|A\theta - b\|_2^2) If closed form fails, show pseudoinverse solution

5) Geometric / Statistical Interpretation

Projection view, orthogonality, bias–variance decomposition, etc.

6) Mistakes, Edge Cases, Pathologies

Ill-conditioning, overfitting, degeneracy, multicollinearity, etc.

7) Summary of Key Results (boxed)

Final equations + conditions required for validity

8) Appendix (optional)

Alternative derivation paths, proofs, SVD forms, related identities
