“One of the main insights of the paper is that domain-specific methods are able to yield bigger improvements than more general approaches. This is an important lesson that will have ramifications for other domains.”
Who would have thought...
- theoh 11y agoSo it's a general lesson about domain-specific methods, not a domain-specific lesson?
- duaneb 11y agoDid we really need this project to discover the value of heuristics?
- gwern 11y agoI think other domains don't really need to be told - the value of generative models is well known, from Bayesian inference (ABC) to deep learning. This is a nice little application of the idea of using a generative model to do inference but the lesson is not new.
