Yes, once you've dealt with implementing it, the notation just makes sense as the most compact way of formalizing what you just did.

Some require a lot more understanding than others (for instance I'm not sure I'd be comfortable implementing a kernelized SVM from scratch, even though intuitively I know how it works) but basic neural networks (simple perceptron,

Honestly, the best thing you can do is try to implement your own shitty neural net with only Python + Numpy, from scratch, with only a basic understanding of the math. It will make most of the math very concrete very fast.

Yeah now that I think about it my statement didn't make any sense, since each intermediate layer computes a projection of the previous one, which is technically feature learning. I still disagree with the original comment though, becau

That's an advantage of convolutional nets. Deep fully connected nets don't do that afaik.

The main issue is that the VC dimension of a deep network is very high (iirc it grows proportionally to the number of edges of the network, which grows combinatorically with its depth), and for any dataset smaller than that the network can

Keep in mind that there is no 1:1 mapping between mg/kg/day for mice and for humans due to difference in metabolism. http://www.ergo-log.com/calculatethehumandosage.html gives a couple of useful formulas to calcul

But for the price they're asking, it would deserve some minor updating. A 2-3 week battery, 3G/4G, support for most commons "chat" apps (Whatsapp, FB messenger). It would play to the phone's strength while keeping i

How does the social ownership of means of production even relate to what we are talking about? Or are you referring to social policies in general? In which case there are multiple models of market-based socialism, in which social benefits (

I see what you mean, I expressed myself badly. Obviously the government should not be wasting the money it is collecting, and they should be taxing just enough so that they can fund the services they offer. What I mean is that I am not for

They target streaming-only movies, not Netflix. I'm sure if Netflix sold the rights to their movies so that they can be shown in local cinemas they wouldn't have any issue.

As a fellow Frenchman I agree. Now don't get me wrong, I am for high taxes, high social safety nets, public universities, public healthcare, and even public maintenance of the arts. I am also for public money helping promote French cul

You can run it in another terminal than the standard cmd. I've got mine running through cmder ( http://cmder.net/ ) which is just a preconfigured ConEmu ( https://conemu.github.io/ ) with some additional s

I dislike when news try to talk about research but do not cite the source. The actual paper can be read here: https://faculty.wharton.upenn.edu/wp-content/uploads/2011/11...

They are, provided they are done correctly. One of the bad side effects of sitting so much is that one is constantly putting all their weight on their glutes and hamstrings, which can have some nefarious consequences when trying to deadlift

I would put squat and deadlift at the same rank personally, just because they are very similar in their impact. Closely following behind them would be a vertical pressing exercise (e.g. barbell overhead press) and a vertical pulling exercis

Some dishes deserve to be insisted upon and revisited multiple times in my opinion, but it's a case by case basis. Some tastes can grow on you (in my case some organ meat tasted quite bad at first), and often your tastes change and mat

Maybe it's the inner Frenchman in me talking (food is very important here), but food doesn't have to just be fuel for your body, it's also a door to the local culture and a social ritual. Tasting different things and eating i

Strangely enough I switched mainly to google keep for stuff I need to pin and set a reminder for a time/gps location, and a standard text editor + dropbox for the rest.

If that book taught you all that, it didn't do you any service education-wise. - Eating every 3 hours is useless. It's great for bodybuilders that need to increase or decrease their caloric input fast, because removing 100kcal fro

Do you plan to release something soon? Even just a way to visualize the rows by loading them lazily would be a huge improvement. I personally use pandas but some of my colleagues are not familiar with it, and it pains me when they try to in

Greek characters require a few manipulations (loading babel and using \textgreek{}), but for accents you literally just need to add two lines to your preamble: \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

I think your biggest challenge is going to be to convince people to pay such a premium to save the 10 minutes they would need to make a coffee (of more or less equivalent quality) with a French press. I'm a coffee lover but I am not a

1) It really depends on your AI and its goal. If the goal of the AI was to summarize human opinions, then the current approach is fine. What isn't working is that it's doing one thing (here is the answer of some people on the inte

It's even more odd considering diversity in page ranking and novelty in recommendation are well studied (although not solved) problems in information retrieval, so it's not like there isn't a solution. And it's not like

It's not a stupid question at all. Here is my layman understanding of it: fat cells actually don't have the same size, they get larger or smaller as the effect of caloric surplus or deficit. You can create new fat cells (something

I've tried emacs a long time ago but could never get it to stick. With everybody advising me to switch to org-mode I might have to give it another try.
