as with a majority of ML research
- anigbrowl 4y agoTrue (I made such a proposal myself a few hours ago, albeit in vaguer terms). The thing is deployment infrastructure is good enough now that we can just treat it as modular signal flows and experiment a lot without having to engineer a whole pile of custom infrastructure for each impulsive experiment.
- ramesh31 4y ago>as with a majority of ML research Plus "we did the same thing, but with 10x the compute resources". But yeah.
- WithinReason 4y agoIsn't that what the Singularity was described as a few decades ago? Progress so fast it's unpredictable even in the short term.
- rileyphone 4y agoSame as it ever was, scientific revolutions arrive all at once, punctuating otherwise uneventful periods. As I understand, the present one is the product of the paper "Attention is all you need": https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.03762.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.03762.pdf.
- visarga 4y ago... that one has 52K citations, and the 2D to 3D paper "NeRF: Representing Scenes as Neural Radiance Fields for View Synthesis" with 1488 citations. https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.08934 https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.08934
