RNA viruses like this coronavirus mutate an alarming rates. I would be shocked if these mutations have not already occurred in people. There must be a reason why these mutations were not selected. They must be detrimental in other ways

Yes, this virus definitely could be the result of artificial selection, negating the whole argument of this nature medicine paper. That said, I agree that the virus likely emerged as a natural phenomena. Both SARS and MERS emerged as natura

I did some reading on coronaviruses and learned these viruses do not have reverse transcriptase, which would allow an RNA virus, like a coronavirus, to incorporate into the host genome, becoming a permanent resident. In other words, the vir

What scares me the most about this coronavirus are infected people testing negative multiple days in a row only to test positive later. There are two explanations: 1. The diagnostic accuracy of the current tests is too low or 2. Some people

More grad students should refuse to turn in grades. After all, it is the grad students doing the grading and work. What’s the worst thing that’s going to happen? You find a job that pays the same but requires fewer hours of work?

Hmm... I think I see the confusion with my title, which I had to shorten to meet the space requirements. It should read "Statistical Classification When Data Do Not Conform to Rows and Columns: … ". The problem is that statistical

EDIT: I think I see the confusion. This project is about statistical classification, which generally assumes the data is in rows and columns. It is about statistical classification when data is not in rows and columns. Of course the data

Many approaches for dealing with symbols reduce the information to numbers. Consider regression of categorial variables. The categorical variables are usually converted into a vector of numbers using a one-hot encoding. Now, if you are clas

Yeah, that's right. Just as a convolutional network picks a patch from an image using a max-pooling operation, dynamic kernel matching picks symbols in a sequence using a max-alignment operation

The problem is not that Tensorflow is based around python instead of swift. The Tensorflow API is a mess. The programming language is not the problem, and switching to swift will only add to the API mess.

Exponential growth has a way of catching people off guard. Moore’s laws continually surprised business. Viral spread will catch society off guard. It is my opinion that we must, as a society, go to enormous lengths to stop this virus, beyon
