I tried to submit it to two conferences, twice rejected. Had to leave academia after funding ran out (did get my Phd). Moved the manuscript to a journal and just last week got a really bad review (saying this had been done in the nineties a

I've done something similar in beginning of 2017: https://openreview.net/pdf?id=SyEiHNKxx I had the whole physics engine + renderer differentiable, in Theano. I used it to do control problems though (so using the image

You actually want to know the gist of how these autodiff libraries work to know a) which approaches are fast and which approaches lead to giant complex gradient graphs. b) which approaches are stable and which lead to numerically unstable g

Does someone know something similar for men in London? I'd be interested in this too! In the article, it sounds like it exists, but then Im not aware of it.

Currently, all life we know of fits into a single tree of life. All known lifeforms for instance agree on using RNA for something, hence the RNA world hypothesis. I would also be interested in a study which points to the opposite.

Think about a torus-chess-board [0]. While it is locally flat, it is finite, unbounded and you would travel back where you started. Curvature cannot give a sound argument as to whether the universe is finite or infinite. [0] https:/&#

I have some slight experience with the PR world. The thing I think went wrong here, is that the news slowly came in over the course of several days. Each one adding slight excitement, but individually insignificant. First there was a story

This one has the sensors to measure the state of the cube, but not he motors to manipulate the state.

Legitimate question: will there be a point where we speak about this war in the past tense, as in `The world lost the war against climate change'? How do we determine that turning point?

It's the opposite, they are very data efficient (compared to neural networks). Also, they are a bayesian method and give some mathematical guarantees. They are computationally expensive though. You can use them in neural nets to do few

The first commit of Lasagne in 2014 already had the 'untie bias' option [0], which achieves the same effect as the paper, but in a different way (and is in my opinion more elegant). And while I cannot find a paper, I think it is o

I made something similar for Belgium a while back [0]. Unfortunately, all I had were the official resources. How much is earned for most of the positions is not public information (or is well hidden in opaque structures). This form of infor

I think I would get a compensation bonus without even having to ask out of this (in the EU). Since he got a new contract, I hope he did negotiate a bit on the new terms in that contract.

Information never goes faster than light, even though quantum information does. But, the communication is more secure because the data which goes from node to node is quantum encoded. So if someone would eavesdrop, the code would break and

There are more permutation invariant networks. Look for Bruno or for Neural Statistician. Both of these are RNN's with the exchangeability property. This means inputs and output can be permuted with each other. If you need something wi

I was thinking the same thing, but was actually very optimistic of how high this thing could go given the rocket equation. Does someone know how much pressure you need to get to a height of X with a system like this? I'd say that given

Congratulations! You are a very brave man. Very brave. I know it takes way more courage than I am currently able to gather.

If you bought designer drugs 10 years ago, the act of buying was legal, even though storing it today no longer is. Same here, collecting it or using it 10 years ago might have been legal. Storing it today is not. You might be confused which

It is not retroactive, the law has been there for 2 years, becoming _active_ in 40 minutes. Secondly, it is not the collection of data, it is the storing of data. So if you store the data without user confirmation in 40 minutes, there might

That is amazingly good news! The small payments for tickets in many places in the eu are already barely covering the cost of the transport. Just get rid of this bureaucratic process and go for a flat and easy approach to ticketing.

I have tried navigate the page, but I still have not figured out what the goal was this year, who won, with which program and what has been obfuscated in it. Is there a better summary of this contest somewhere? Is there a link I'm miss

Animals, plants and other beautiful things. Saving it for life in general does not sound too bad? If it goes between leaving a dead rock in space, or keeping this lively rock around albeit without humans, that does not sound too bad. You ca

The solution I came up with (watching many many cooking videos) is different: cook the spaghetti in the sauce for the last minutes. You get the same effect, but less of the oily mouth feel which I did not like. It also helps thicken your to

Yes, but that is not specific to machine learning. Humans have also learned to drive under the assumption that future observations will somewhat be alike what they have seen in the past. And yes, that is putting peoples' lives in dange
