I think names for fields are largely defined by social forces behind it not its ideas. Terms like "statistics" are sociological artifacts, not mathematical ones. The difference between stats and machine learning is analogous to sa

The 1-based indexing is a smaller deal than people make it out to be. If you're doing scientific computing, it's very unlikely you'll be doing too many fidgety things with indexes anyway. I switch between Julia and numpy with

you are right. you are using the output of the previous sparse solution as input into the new one, i.e. stacking sparse coders. Your second question of why this is a good idea is the million dollar question. Its pretty much "lets try i

Hi, I'm the author of the blog post. I added a blurb to the beginning the blog post explaining all the drama, and precisely what claim was made that was withdrawn. The problem is not in the ARG->SARG approximation, but the bit on un
