Meh, it's alright. I've found it to be completely dominated by people who are only interested in or talk about deep neural nets. That's fine I guess, it's certainly popular. But there are vast areas of applied machine learning that rightly use other techniques (deep learning isn't AGI!) and it's really frustrating to try to ask questions about RF Tree Pruning or SVM kernel functions only to get a bunch of vacuous "you should try deep learning" comments.
- stared 10y agoFor deep learning quality is high (and it rarely misses important stuff). But I share your frustration that it is "deep learning news", see this post of mine: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/4el597/is_rmachinelearning_deep_learning_news/ https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/4el597/is_... (Though, in the last month deep learning is my main focus, so it is OK.)
