Couldn't you view the output of the last layer of the convnet used as the embedding in this case? Yes, this was a different approach than leveraging user preferences, but I don't see why this is inherently the wrong approach.

Cool! Would appreciate a motivation section in the readme, specifically whether this addresses needs better than others (especially Lektor which seems aimed at the same use case). Or not, it's your project, can just be because you wann

Thanks for putting this together. I recommend you check out https://sebastianraschka.com/ the author of Python Machine Learning. He's great at explaining things, wrote the bets intro to ML book IMHO and is a good Twitt

There are so many frameworks, tools and layers of abstraction out there that I find it helps to dip down a layer and taste what life is like without framework or tool X. Ideally, it's quite painful and you immediately appreciate what t

In a similar vein, I view whiteboard interviews (and required prep) similar to professional exams, like the Bar exam for lawyers. While I think it's unreasonable to expect good professionals to be able to pass such exams without a lot

The author states the problem clearly: programmer rusty at linear algebra, needs some background. But at some point, the disdain for pure math / theory becomes a hindrance IMHO. If being human calculator on paper back in college left y

Sure, didn't mean to imply megapixel images were the lower threshold, just that it is more to do with the number of features and the need to automatically extract higher level features.

by krosaen 9y ago
The benefits of deep learning have more to do with the number of features than the size of the dataset; e.g when you are dealing with million pixel images, you need a deep net to extract useful higher level features automatically. From ther

A lot of interesting points made in this article, but the assertion that trauma plays only a minor role in depression, made in passing, raised an eyebrow. There's quite a bit of evidence that coming to terms with trauma, can be key for

This reminded me of a cool paper I came across recently, Spatial Transformer Networks [1], a good example of how knowledge of geometry helps frame the problem more effectively, allowing the network to learn how to e.g rotate objects into a

True, but PM & UX might be the domain where it is studied most explicitly. Overall would just be helpful to point people who read this article to, e.g, "and by the way, these practices have a lot in common with UX and Product Manag

Sounds a lot like product management & UX best practices applied to a particular domain (understanding user pain points, building things that solve specific unmet needs). Would be a more interesting if that was acknowledged more explici
