I'm curious how this parser compares to ClearNLP http://www.clearnlp.com/ which is similarly a shift-reduce parser.

The advice I was given was to read a favorite children's book like Harry Potter as you will sort of know the gist of what the passage is suppose to mean and can use that to bootstrap the words in the language you don't know.

So is conduit the recommended streaming IO library now? I saw there were a bunch of implementations of iteratees and was waiting for the community to coalesce around one.

So I don't really consider myself a Haskell programmer, but the standard advice is to think about operation you are going to perform on those strings and numbers later, then think if there is a datatype you could create instead. As an

Most of the complexity of needing Data.Dynamic has to do with the way we store the heterogeneous collection that is our observed data. There is a nicer way to do this which I hope lands in a future release.

One of the authors here. In terms of expressiveness, Hakaru is much more in the mold of something like Church, Venture, or Anglican where we can more easily express nonparametric models. This means in the context of the model, once a random

These are great topics that are often neglected by machine learning textbooks. Some of the reason has to do with machine learning textbook writers not really doing research in Reinforcement Learning or Time Series. For things like Online Le

I think of lot of the solution to this problem is going to be make the random creation conditioned on user-provided examples of interesting content. You already see a lot of this happening in the most recent SIGGRAPH papers, such as http:&

I'm curious how easy is it to write software to control a multirotor you built yourself. One of the big appeals of the AR drone was a fairly easy to use Linux SDK.

I have thought about this problem, and I think the better approach is something way more domain specific. Start with an application in mind, see which machine learning algorithms they are using and just try to get them working. Once you hav

Are there any feasible production-ready NLP solutions? My default approach has been to browse the codebases of different computational linguistics labs, but something more central would be very handy. As it stands I just say something to th

Comparing this page to the Feynman Lectures from earlier in the week, it's really amazing how far latex typography has come in the last few years. Now we all use MathJax.

These guys had a booth at the Epson stage at SIGGRAPH this year. I tried it out from one the engineers. The unit could stand to be a bit lighter, and less dorky but it definitely works. They are very accessible and probably game to demo it

It's not like many of the original artists want a payout. They just want attribution.

Yes, but I think for many places where PCA is used, we are precisely interested in which eigenvectors have the largest eigenvalues. The scaling beforehand makes a unit change less likely to effect which eigenvectors are the most important.

Yes, this is a well known problem with PCA. So often we just whiten ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitening_transformation ) the data first.

That doesn't really change my definitions. I agree exact inference is intractable for anything but modest problem sizes. Luckily, I think most work these days is in making these systems use approximate inference.

A probabilistic programming language is probably better understood as a way to model stochastic processes. What I mean by modeling stochastic processes is we have data that we know was generated by some non-deterministic process. We also do

The alternative is to surround yourself with other people that love to learn. They might not love learning the same things that you do, but that enthusiasm will enrich your life. Though there is value in keeping around your mates.

I found Anaconda ( https://store.continuum.io/ ) to be the easiest way to get people setup with Python on nearly any system. It has the added benefit of bundling ipython, pip and numpy which is notoriously a huge pain to get working on Wind
