Maybe I wasn't clear, or misunderstood some of the article, but I thought the article was about optimising the hyperparameters before the machine learning part happens. I meant optimising the parameters during the machine learning iter

Would it be possible to make the hyperparameters optimizable? Maybe it's the biologist in me, but I can't really see a reason why you couldn't just let the algorithm decide for itself which values of those parameters would wo

Interesting article. I mostly agree. OP, could I ask a question? You mention 1TB files. Why do you guys at embl not use a database for this sort of stuff? I'd figure that with some proper indexing, I figure you could see pretty decent

People don't seem to understand how prohibitively expensive it is to develop new drugs and get them approved for use. Yeah, drug companies charge huge premiums, and they don't like generic versions of their product, but with a goo

Because the ads they show us are autoplaying headache-inducing flashing videos with jump-scare sounds. Their ads open new windows, which open further new windows when you try to close them. And on top of that, they also gather data about yo

I'm always intensely wary of Yegor's articles. On the one hand, I do agree with him on many points. On the other hand, I couldn't agree less when he makes statements like "objects should be immutable".
