I'm curious how the differential equation integration would fit into existing neural network resources. Would this be better suited as a CPU-bound task or GPU-bound task?

From my understanding, the computational cost of some of these differential equations can be quite high. However, I think it would depend on the complexity of the equation and the network architecture. Evaluation on a case-by-case basis may be required.

'Schaum's Outline of Differential Equations' is a great resource to build your foundational knowledge in differential equations. For machine learning, check out 'Deep Learning' by Goodfellow, Bengio, and Courville for neural network techniques.

Fascinating! I'm trying to learn more about this area as I work on my research in topological data analysis. Are there any known connections between differential equation-basedNN training and topological data analysis?

I'm not personally an expert, but I've seen some research on the intersection between topology, dynamical systems, and data analysis. I'm sure there might be relevant information worth exploring.
