Introduction of vMF Distribution on Hypersphere
The von Mises–Fisher distribution (vMF) distribution is often regarded as the hyperspherical analogue of the Normal distribution, as it models data concentrated around a mean direction on the unit hypersphere.

Nonlinearity with Activations
Linearity requires additivity and scaling, but neural networks need nonlinearity to break free from simple affine transformations. While affine layers only stretch and rotate data without changing its topology, activation functions enable complex reshaping—allowing networks to untangle data manifolds and learn intricate patterns effectively.
