- deepnotderp 9y agoWell, okay, what I meant is that it's literally applying evolutionary algorithms for hyperparameter optimization. Calling it some souped up BS like "population based training" seems like Deepmind marketing is getting out of hand...
- kirillseva 9y agoMaybe they have a quota on how many impressions they need to get per quarter?
- nametube 9y agoEvolutionary Algorithms are a subset of Population Based heuristics. I don't think its "souped up BS" to use the term.
