Category Naming Conventions

• Use kebab-case for multi-word categories: machine-learning, deep-learning
• Use single words when possible: research, music, tools
• Be specific but not too granular
• Use lowercase letters

Current Categories

• machine-learning - Machine learning topics
• deep-learning - Deep learning and neural networks
• vae - Variational Autoencoders
• mnist - MNIST dataset related
• research - Research projects and papers
• music - Music-related content
• public-domain - Public domain music and tools
• tools - Software tools and utilities

Display

Categories are automatically displayed on the blog page with:

• Hyphens converted to spaces
• First letter capitalized
• Styled as tags

Example: machine-learning displays as “Machine Learning”
