After styleGAN-2 came out, I couldn't image what improvements could be made over it. This work is truly impressive. The comparisons are illuminative: StyleGAN2's mapping of texture to specific pixel location looks very similar to

They will have no free will but to accept the recommendations given to them. But seriously, most churches belong to a denomination. And practically all denominations have a specific alignment on every theological issue you can imagine. In a

It doesn't have to be so black and white on youtube's response. They could, for example, but a disclaimer pre-roll ad saying "Don't take medical advice from youtube." There's a difference between Brett's i

While randomized trials are certainly the gold-standard for determining if you should give a new drug to treat an arbitrary disease, that process is far too conservative during a pandemic where a huge majority of the world cannot access pro

I heard about Ivermectin for the first time this week and was shocked how much it seemed that I had stepped into conspiracy theory land. There seemed to be an overwhelming amount of evidence over the last year that this repurposed drug is e

It seemed like Ritesh was being recorded without his consent, so I don't think it's fair to take this interview(?) as a confirmation of election interference. It seems like he's saying google's results intentionally favo

These results seems quite suspicious to me. In all instances the author only received 1 email in reply. If you run these results through an A/B testing calculator, they aren't statistically significant. That's even the case f

I've often wondered if professors of a field (or PhD holders) are uniquely the least qualified to teach their area of expertise. A person who both cares enough about a topic and has an intuition such that they can understand their fiel

I don't think a university's primary purpose is teaching; I believe it's for research. For example, a PhD prepares you for a life of research, not one of teaching. At my institution, advisors strongly prefer their PhD student

Great podcast Lex! I am intrigued about the discussion on explainable AI. How do you feel about the quality of the current XAI research? What do you think are the most important directions for that field? And what do you see it looking like

My goal is to one day have Schmidhuber angrily claim that my research was done by him in the 90s like what happened to Ian Goodfellow [0]. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/5go4sa/n_w.

Is there any comparison of training speed of a neural net for one of these chips and a typical one? I'd be interested to see how long it takes to train an imagenet classifier on one of these compared to other hardware.

This stuff is great! Will example training files be uploaded for GLUE/SQAUD/etc like on the HuggingFace's implementation?

There is an ethic commitee (the IRB) at every university that reviews all academic research involving people. In order to conduct a user study, researchers are required to compensate participants fairly. The reason you can pay MTurkers &quo

This article isn't too surprising. Modern studies only find a small positive connection between IQ and lifetime success (0.25 correlation). Even so, there is no single element predictor that can better measure success compared to IQ. I

I appreciate your desire for a better hackernews community, but I disagree with your assessment of my comment. The article is clearly for marketing, not quality content. The original poster is indeed a member of the company. That's not

That's a funny company. They patented an implementation of a Bayesian Network and call it something new and amazing. Not that it matters, as I'm certain other companies use more modern techniques (deep learning) for "outfit a

My apologies, I wasn't stating his thesis in full. "Poorly defined" in the scientific sense. And to address your concern: a title should not be a thesis, thesis' of articles can be implied, and other commenters to not ap

I feel like the other commenters here are missing the point of the article. The current scientific understanding of motivation and willpower is severely lacking. The author is pointing out this fact. And while he does not have a thorough di
