I love this story. I hope the snobs at r/machinelearning get a good read of it. I've seen HS kids there ask questions and get talked down to instead of encouragement. Those people want to keep ML their exclusive little club and apply intimidating terminology to simple concepts to keep people out. Congrats to these kids. Middle fingers in the air to the snobs.
- VectorLock 9y agoIt makes sense economically. The less people with the skill the more valuable it is.
- jstanley 9y agoThat's not a healthy scientific attitude.
- deepnotderp 9y agoThe field is poisoned by money, I haven't seen a single paper ever use a statistical test of significance, hell most don't even have multiple trials! Most papers can't be reproduced and when you ask the authors they'll literally say to change the random seed . This includes, often especially so, the big labs. All so people can have a piece of the big tech company money pie.
