Hypernetworks: Neural Networks for Hierarchical Data

https://blog.sturdystatistics.com/posts/hnet_part_I/title-image.png
Neural nets assume the world is flat. Hierarchical data reminds us that it isn’t. Neural networks are predicated on the assumption that a single function maps inputs to outputs. But in the real world, data rarely fits that mold. Think about a clinical trial run across multiple hospitals: the drug is the same, but patient demographics, procedures, and record-keeping vary from one hospital to ...
