often though, representations that yield insight have some wow factor to them, especially if the world hasn't seen it before. Between Nielsen and Bret Vector, I'm kinda jealous about what my future kids can learn with much more ea

Interesting. It wasn't until the end of the paper and re-read the top that I noticed "Liang" isn't actually Percy Liang (with whom Berant has collaborated a lot in the past)

I was in shenzhen a couple of days ago, and faced with the prospect of having different types of USB-C cables, I bought one of each standard (thunderbolt, USB3.0 and 3.1). I now have a problem because I don't remember which colour is w

machine learning stuff - whilst training datasets are usually cloud-deployed, dev data alone can use up a lot of RAM. I've recently started dumping my matrices to disk for dev work now. Or turn off Chrome and Firefox which turns out to

When I wrote EyeMap, it turned out humans blinked a lot more than I had anticipated. It wasn't much later until EyeMap had been shuttered before I read that same book. What I did was basically ignore the 5 or so frames where the eye wa

You don't need deep learning. Seriously. Not everything in the world needs deep learning. I wrote an eyetracking system for tracking my vision while playing mobile games[0], and really, the eye-tracking is quite simple and you can do i

This is not quite related to Docker/Kubernetes, but a phrase in the article triggered memories about a very good book that I think everyone should read - The Box by Marc Levinson. It really is a fascinating book.

The prices seem a bit low for 2016. A pastry shop I frequent (not really frequently given my family went low-carbish a few years ago) had their eclairs go from $4.50 to $8 in over the past 5-6 years. :S. Granted they also became a lot more

I was surprised that I had a already-visited link on HN. This weekend I was trying to migrate my wordpress blog to Hugo... to no avail. The plugins mentioned all killed my Wordpress, so now I'm stuck transcribing my posts one by one by

I echo the sentiments of Kolbe. There really is no way to make a Kalman filter simple or intuitive. What I have found helps though, is to write one yourself based on the math before using the libraries you find. Write one, print out every i

We impart our bias on ML algorithms by choosing what data to use to train the AI on. The problem, I think is one of self-selection. Consider two hypothetical social networking websites - Friendface and FaceSpace. Friendface's userbase

Regarding Maciej's fears about machine learning - I've written about this before, and even right now I'm not sure where I stand exactly, except that tweaking the algorithms to compensate for bias is definitely not the right a

I'm doing that. Database queries are (relatively) expensive actions in what I'm doing, and reinforcement learning sorta cuts down on the amount of db querying that my NLP program does. Way too much time is spent finetuning it, and

Heh. Only if you are talking about the sexy machine learning bits - reinforcement learning's this year's hot sexy one. A few years ago, it's convolutional neural networks, followed by recurrent nets. Nobody thinks SVM is cool
