Dask is popular for this purpose. No memory compression, but supports disk spillage as well as distributed dataframes.

It still scales O(N^2) in terms of computation though right?

Let me make sure I understand: rather than using gates, each step explicitly takes a weight average of all past steps using attention. What is the training speed of this network? Computation seems to scale at N^2 rather than N.

Rigor is there. I'm now working in the ML/AI research division of big-4, all I needed (and all hiring teams needed to see on my resume) were a couple of these classes (with good internal performance ratings). Having said that, my

I've taken a couple on this list (employer paid as a perk, no way I would pay this price out of pocket) and I can attest it is 100x more worthwhile than Coursera MOOC. You actually study, partner with, and test along-side Stanford MS&#

Are you talking about guaranteed advancement into a real degree? That indeed does not exist, but if you do well on these, you are probably pretty eligible for their part-time MS program.

2 cents from someone who took CS61A in scheme and had a hand in creating the new python version of the course and subsequently was a TA for the class for a few semesters on this debate: In any class of reasonable difficulty/usefulness,

No, I believe he actually meant LSA = latent semantic analysis, which is an algorithm used to extract topics. I am also curious about how the NLP/ML parts are implemented, as it's claimed by the README on github. Briefly scanned t

I don't really know Go except for like 5 min of reading up on its syntax, so I could be wrong, but this assertion that it was not obvious how to write to a file in the documentation surprised me. So I clicked on the stackoverflow link.

I'm not sure I agree with the sentiment that people who code in dynamic languages don't think about signatures and types. If anything, people who write in dynamic languages think about them more because they are not explicit in the language

This is probably easier for a computer to crack than a well-built traditional CAPTCHA. Recognizing a pre-defined small set of images (the chess pieces) and performing a search for the winning move seems much easier than beating the image di

Took this class at Berkeley last semester. Hard but very good, as long as you have the right mathematical background. Think graduate level math/stats and not "I took the ML course from Coursera".

This looks awesome. It would be cool if you could build a community around this. I wish I could not only post with this tool, but also read what others are writing. While someone may not want to keep a full blog, they may be willing to writ

Pretty season's Vim user here. This editor looks awesome, and I would love to give it a whirl, but I feel like I can't switch without these plugins. I'm sure they exist, if someone could point me to one that would be excellent. + Syntastic

They should mount this inside a keyboard, I don't want an extra dongle randomly lying on my table. On a completely different note, though, I wonder what the range on these things is. Could have excellent applications to robotics, I hope the

Same, expected some good counter arguments to the article mentioned in the post. Instead, it reinforced my every stereotype about business people.

As someone who took the Scheme version and is now teaching the Python version, there are without a doubt aspects of the course I miss. The old Scheme course just had a kind of elegance to it. We are still striving to teach the same material

(also a TA for the course) I took this class while it was still taught in Scheme, and I loved it. Now I'm teaching it in Python. I am also sad to see Scheme go, but I think we gained as much as we have lost in our switch to Python. For exam
