Slightly related, but has anyone made an automated fuzzy, dupe detector for posts or topics? I keep thinking it would be nice to browse HN using an explicit graph constructed with some NLP clustering, instead of an implicit graph created by

What's the difference between ML and online convex optimization? I remember presenting on the Multiplicative Weights algorithm, and someone told me not to introduce it from a learning theory perspective and instead from more of a basic

A better way to search through all the submissions and comments one has saved or upvoted. If you have time, do some intelligent tagging so one can search by topic.

Training the model would be computationally intensive, but deploying that to use Tensorflow.js and predicting a single datapoint in the browser shouldn't be as much, right?

I've been working on an editor on top of ProseMirror to support saving web content in the form of rich text and predefined schemas. Given that you have academic research in this area of web OCR, what's the current literature or to
