Great summary. I believe both models are available in Detectron if anyone wants to give them a go: https://github.com/facebookresearch/Detectron

Not slavery but kind of. I'd rather the (computerized) self-driving car driver die than a real person. There are also many jobs that are demeaning or not intrinsically rewarding for people like trash collection and some kinda of constr

It's actually a first year statistics homework assignment to do an "AHA Moment" action analysis. A random forest automatically gives you a "variable importance plot".

Most obvious use-case to my mind is stock (or crypto) price manipulation. I wonder what would happen to the ETH price if Vitalik Buterin suddenly "announced" he has seen the light and is quitting ETH to work on DOGE :)

It's up 105% this week so someone thinks it's still alive.

This is great! There's so much hype about machine learning but so few people seem to appreciate the fundamental importance of linear algebra (especially in ML). This fast.ai course is also great: http://www.fast.ai/2017

It can also lose 20x. Losses hurt more than gains feel good. Utility theory suggests to sell if probability weighting of loss is high enough.

Sound analysis! Quick question: what do you think is going to happen to BCH when coinbase unlocks users' tokens?

Excellent! I'd suggest anyone interested in jumping into building computer vision models should check out the excellent free MOOC on fast.ai

Fee isn't limited to what you're paying the exchange, you have to take into account slippage - the price you use in your backtests is NOT the price you could actually realistically buy at because as soon as you buy, you move the p

To be fair, quant vs. programmer is a false dichotomy since most quants did degrees like mathematical finance, actuarial science, etc. where computer science and numerical programming courses are part of their degrees.

I studied post-grad ML and I can say you really don't need to go this deep to use ML - check out http://fast.ai for a code-first practical crash course :)

I think you're misinterpreting the parent who is saying that local minima are not a problem in high dimensions because there is always a dimension to move in that reduces the loss (unlike in lower dimensions where you can get stuck in

I was initially skeptical about it needing a cryptocurrency but the idea of needing to stake predictions to prevent anonymous data scientists from submitting thousands of predictions to game the tournament is really interesting. I also real

Most DL researchers are more into math/stats/theory than programming and Python is faaar easier to pick up and grok than java/.net/etc.

I doubt all that time is 100% focus - that number probably includes business lunches, driving to PR gigs (during which he might read something work related), etc. If you count all that stuff then the average person is probably working more
