I feel like the word unique is used wrongly here. Per dictionary: > being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else. I think all the posters you might sell will look a lot like each other, and are therefore not unique. Unique in the

Look at how clean those streets are! Is there someone from Oslo who can comment on these streets now? Are they still as clean (because they're in the political district?) or did we make our cities more dirty since then?

GANs are for graphics, not machine learning. They have no test scores as they cannot run on the test set. Therefore, its hard to tell how much they overfit. But they have uses, like for lossy compression of images or texture generation. Stu

The UK can do that. The most likely consequence will be the EU not accepting those trade terms. As a consequence, almost all trade with the UK will stop and trade with the UK will effectively be under near embargo due to the high tarrifs fr

Compressing is indeed a hot topic, but I do feel like this article (the one on arXiv https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.05162 ) has some major shortcomings. First off, the datasets used (spiral and MNIST) are simple and small.

Let me reformulate. I'm just saying that there is at least one obvious way in which Google could scale this at least 2 to 3 orders of magnitude if they would want to, for the cost of the electricity bill. Just run it for 8 months inste

Yes, it got a set of all legal moves, of which it had to choose one. It was trained for 8 hours where it only played against itself, only using the knowledge of which moves are legal. After self-playing for 8 hours, it played 100 times agai

How do you replicate CERN experiments? The LHC? Hubble? LIGO? LISA? At least this paper is reproducible by people who have the compute, and many universities have super computers. Even at home, you can verify the results by replaying the ga

Currently, a warp drive is forbidden by relativity. So I would say, all research trying to find where relativity breaks. So I reckon the gravity wave detectors like LIGO and LISA are more relavant than CERN.

That is true, but if you don't look at them as a machine learning method, but rather as a computer graphics method, then it is quite impressive. It has the added benefit of being allowed to overfit as long as the average human does not

Yes, but they probably did not get it right on first try. You usually need hundreds of iterations to get it right. This does not imply 2000 days of GPU, but it quickly pushes this outside of reach of consumer hardware.

Ha, that's amazing! I have always encouraged colleagues to read less scientific articles, especially if it is incremental science. It encourages you to think inside the box and you will come up with the same solutions everyone else is.

That sounds a lot like a guilty by association. If some people in a group of people hang out with some people who are bad, all of them are bad. In this case, you claim the author associates with groups which in turn are associated with &#x2
