We spend so much effort trying to engineer intelligence, when we would get a lot farther reverse engineering intelligence. Whenever AI makes a big advance the analog was already known my neuroscientists. The problem with attempting to und

Very cool. I could see something like this replacing/augmenting the current social networking paradigm. FYI, someone just managed to inject a javascript alert.

Neural networks are notoriously difficult to train due to the large number of hyper-parameters that need to be tuned. If your network never converged, it's possible your learning rate was too high, so it kept overshooting the minima of

That's the goal of representation learning, but we're not quite there yet. From a previous comment: syllogism 264 days ago Deep learning needs feature engineering too. You still need to transform your context into a vector of bool

Deep neural networks essentially transform input data into a vector space where the data is "easier" to model. So while the input vectors may not be linearly separable in the input space, the network learns how to transform the in

This article and discussion are quite timely for me, as I was recently offered a position as a "quant analyst" at a derivatives arbitrage firm -- from what I understand, similar to 3). My other two options are working at an ambiti

I think the question that rhodri poses is an important one. For me, satisfaction comes from more than just the solution to the immediate problem, or the amount of money I'm being paid to solve it. Satisfaction comes from knowing that w

This is beautiful. For me, Carl Sagan's voice is incredibly inspirational. He knows just what to say and how to say it to elicit a beautiful and optimistic feeling of wonderment. And the visuals were stunning. A tantalizing glimpse int

8. FEATURE ENGINEERING IS THE KEY Feature engineering is more difficult because it's domain-specific, while learners can be largely general-purpose ... one of the holy grails of machine learning is to automate more and more of the f

The reason why it's used is because it's a very simple example of a non-linearly separable function. You can interpret boolean functions as classification problems: given some input(s) x, classify the output as either 1 (class A)

Ah, now I understand. Yes, I agree that discoverability is an extremely useful feature.

Perhaps, but I would prefer to see some evidence rather than rely on an appeal to authority. If the size of your resource is e.g. 100KB, and you have 10 different versions, then your responses are 1MB each -- 9 times larger than they have t

This doesn't seem like a particularly scalable solution, since your traffic increases proportionally to the number of versions you support.

A couple of notes on Authentication: - Including the clear text API key in the URI makes it very easy for anyone listening in to gain unauthorized access. To get around this, one can either enforce HTTPS, or require a hash of a pass phrase.
