I have been playing with alternative ways to do machine learning on and off for a few years now. Some experiments went very well.
I am never sure if it is a waste of time or has some value.
If you guys had some unique ML technology that is different to what all the others do, what would you do with it?
- swagasaurus-rex 5y agoCreate a demo of it doing -something-. Literally anything. Then show it off and see where it goes.
- nynx 5y agoI’d make a blog and post about my experiments.
- andai 5y agoAnd a video too, please :)
- javajosh 5y agoHost it on a $5 VPS with full internet access and "see what happens".
- ggerganov 5y agoI would make a "Show HN" post
- deleted 5y ago[deleted]
- daveguy 5y agoDemo speaks louder than words. If you don't want to go into the details of how it works, it would still be interesting to just see where it over and under performs compared to existing systems.
- mark_l_watson 5y agoAbsolutely! Also, if possible, a Colab (or plain Jupiter notebook) and data would be good.
- Scene_Cast2 5y agoIf you do end up posting any sort of musings on this topic, I'd be really interested in taking a look.
- drewm1980 5y agoStart with the assumption that someone has already done it... Do a thorough literature survey... Ask experts working on the most similar thing. Don't be disheartened if you weren't the first; ideas don't have to be original to have value; some ideas need reviving from time to time, or were ahead of their time when first discovered.
- Szpadel 5y agoML is still fairly new topic and if you have some idea there is high chance that nobody actually tried it yet
- hwers 5y agoWrite a paper about it. Post it on arxiv.org. Contact some open minded researchers on twitter or here (show HN) for critique.
- nitrogen 5y agoYou have to be affiliated with an institution to submit to arxiv.
- rsfern 5y agoYou don’t strictly need an institutional affiliation, but it makes things easier for sure. Arxiv has an endorsement process you can go through to post without an affiliation https://arxiv.org/help/endorsement https://arxiv.org/help/endorsement
- jah242 5y agoSounds like we are in very similar positions and have a very similar question :). My only real plan so far is to try and beat or match SOTA on a recent benchmark from a large corporate / research lab, give them an email and hope they are willing to talk to you.
- Eliezer 5y agoDon't burn the capabilities commons. You probably don't have anything, in which case, why bother people? If you do have something, that advances AI capabilities and shortens the time before AGI; and while nobody actually has anything resembling a viable plan for surviving that, the fake plans tend to rely on having more time rather than less time.
- voldacar 5y agoA bit LARPy, don't you think?
- ur-whale 5y ago> what would you do with it? Use the "proof is in the pudding" method: Do something with it - preferably useful - that no one else can.
