Non-reproducibility doesn't imply shoddy work so it isn't fair to damage people's reputations for this reason. A paper may be non-reproducible because it isn't descriptive enough, because their data is not published yet,

At some point you presumably have to assess user-similarity in order to let similar users recommend items to each other? How's this different from e.g. user-user CF in terms of compiling everyone's info into a single model? I&#x27

What do you mean "human powered" rather than ML? How are the implicit/explicit judgements of relevance (e.g. likes, clicks, views, star ratings) that are used in rec algorithms any less human than, say, a recommendation from

Or by someone associated with them (in their lab, uni, co-authors as you mention etc). Essentially this means you must cite certain papers in some areas, as for larger conferences you're sure to be reviewed by such people.

I don't make this assumption. I simply think OPs argument that research should be open because tax payers have funded it is weak, for the reason I stated, i.e. it implies that non-tax payers should not have access, or conversely, impli

by anjc 7y ago
The argument seems to be that access to research should be unrestricted because "scientific publishers represent institutionalised theft of tax payer money", i.e. that theft of tax payer money is bad. In that case, why should peop

If your issue is that tax payer money is being stolen then presumably open access should only be granted to citizens of a country, for research arising from academic institutions in that country? Otherwise countries will similarly be steali

I looked through the GAN paper that this idea uses, and it seems that they generate training data by downsampling high res images. So you can presumably create large amounts of high quality training data for problems like this. Do such meth

This all goes without saying. However we're talking about developing and marketing a product in the first world. In this context, $1900 is not only nothing, it's a bargain given the experience OP gained.

I find the touch interface in XPlane to be fine. I can hold one Oculus Touch controller and also use that hand to hold a hardware yoke and throttle. But I would be very happy if something could track my fingers and I had haptic pads on my f

This looks amazing, and I'd love to switch back to MS after having to switch to XPlane. However: no VR no buy. No matter how many improvements they've made, VR + 13 year old FSX will be much more immersive and useful. It's in

They said that they aren't using raytracing I believe. That'd be great if they did, I don't think there are any killer apps for a 2080ti yet, but this would certainly be one.

Yeah I can't disagree with this. I think it's typical to present the highlights of your work though. In this case, the issue seems to be "why do the authors consider 'black:killer' to be a highlight"? It might
