Would you please stop it with the "$whatever is all you need"?
- The_rationalist 5y agoSometimes it feels like papers authors consider their audience as children.
- toxik 5y agoIt's such a cheap trick too, basically clickbait.
- bonoboTP 5y agoBut it works, for example it got to the top of HN.
- ausbah 5y agoto be fair many of the tasks of machine learning are things children do like telling if something is a dog, coloring in a a picture, solving a maze, etc.
- edmundsauto 5y agoCommunication is based on the lowest common denominator. The best communication can be understood by a wide range of audiences. Have you considered that you weren't the intended audience?
- jgalt212 5y agoI don't know about that. It's probably driven by the need to for a short attention* gathering title. * I see what I did there.
- bonoboTP 5y agoThe field is certainly moving in a direction of infantilization due to the social media attention economy. Your paper competes with cute flashy cat gifs etc. on Twitter. And Twitter is ridiculously important in AI/ML, except perhaps above 50-60 years of age.
- touisteur 5y agoA little whimsy doesn't hurt... Nobody said science and research had to be dry and witless.
- jasonzemos 5y agoWhat if the paper which finally gives us The Singularity is titled "All you need is all you need?"
- prionassembly 5y ago"All you need considered harmful"
- joe_the_user 5y ago"The Unreasonable Effectiveness of All You Need Is Considered Harmful" -- All interpretations worth considering...

- philipswood 5y agoFANG doesn't want you to know how this one weird trick about the unreasonable effectiveness of all you need considered harmful for fun and profit and you will never guess what happened next.
- qolop 5y agoWe live in a society where FANG doesn't want you to know how this one weird trick about the unreasonable effectiveness of all you need considered harmful for fun and profit and you will never guess what happened next in my social experiment gone wrong.

- melling 5y agoIsn’t it a reference to the “Attention is All You Need” machine learning paper? https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762 https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762
- toxik 5y agoYes, and this is the fourth or fifth paper I see copying that format. The attention paper was pretty damn significant. This won’t be, because it just shows that hyperparameters are important. We know that.
- lux 5y agoI often interpret that pattern as a reference to the lyric "love is all you need" by the Beatles (e.g., an attempt at being playful and relatable), but that may be my musical bias. Either way, totally agree. Overused, almost always incorrect, and easily misconstrued especially by people who don't speak English as their first language.
- jackylupino 5y agoIf the paper would not have used this clickbait title, it would probably go unnoticed and noone would pay attention? Sad truth about sensation-oriented modern lives :(
