Great walkthrough, but was a neural network really necessary for detecting how far off the time on a mechanical watch is? I didn't read the article that closely so maybe I'm missing something but just intuitively a machine learning model and neural network seem like a lot of work for something like this.
- steadicat 9y agoThe neural network is not for measuring how far off the time is, it’s for guessing where different trendlines in the charts should start and end. You could say it’s overkill, but as I mention in the article I wasn’t happy with the results I got using simpler math. Also I’m pretty honest about the fact that I used a neural network because I felt like it. :) Check out this response for a different take on this: http://yieldthought.com/post/170830096265/when-are-neural-networks-overkill http://yieldthought.com/post/170830096265/when-are-neural-ne...
