SVMs are just specialized versions of RBF networks that are trained in a more structured way that allows for efficiency and high performance, but the overall structure and operation is the same and they warrant comparison.
• 08:1208:12, 28 April 2025 diff hist +29 m Radial basis function network Adding SVM to "See also" as an SVM is essentially a specialized RBFNN with a different training procedure. They solve the same problem in the same way but parameters are picked in a more structured way with SVM.

It is true that often "causation" is used as a synonym for "mechanism", but this article also draws connections to Aristotle's four causes, in which all four boxes are technically "causes". So, removing causation for clarity.

Boltzmann distribution was NOT the proposal distribution in the original Metropolis algorithm. The Metropolis algorithm produced samples from the Boltzmann distribution; its suggested (but arbitrary) proposal distribution was uniform.
