We do. If you’re interested in the architecture particulars (I.e. which layer types, layer shapes, layer parameters, activation functions, etc) you’ll commonly see these in deep learning papers as a directed acyclic graph with layers repres

I'm econ undergrad -> DS -> Machine learning. Econ is very useful for data science if you focus on the right subjects: statistics, math, and experimental design. You get all the hard skills you need to interact with data that a s

How do you come to the conclusion that ML is a buzzword here? It's natural to publicize interesting new research that grounds a field -- as statisticial learning theory does for machine learning. Historically, Ben-David and co-authors

Deep Graph Library (DGL) [1] came out in November and I've heard good things. It looks easy and intuitive. [1] https://github.com/dmlc/dgl

For more, I highly recommend looking at the accepted papers from the NeurIPS 2018 Relational Representation Learning workshop. [1] I really enjoyed the workshop and I hear workshops tend to represent a (rough) frontier of the subfield. [1]

There are a lot of talented ML researchers in China. This is a product of (a) the government and major companies (i.e. BAT) investing heavily in fundamental ML research (b) the population size (c) a long tradition of STEM-focused education

I'm curious: if you think so much about climate change and its effects, and even plan your actions and location around it, have you considered directing your energy to combatting climate change with your skills on a systemic level? (Fo

Sounds interesting. The two big barriers to this system are: 1. Political buy-in to set a cost of carbon emission 2. Economic viability of removal (often referred to as carbon capture and storage, or CCS) 1 is non-trivial, but happening. Ca

This is a great idea Ben, and I appreciate the work you do. Do you see Kaggle datasets as a tool to encourage better data formatting, or are you also thinking about building tools for automatically visualizing, cleaning, and organising data

The link at the bottom should be emphasized: https://github.com/awesomedata/awesome-public-datasets It is a very expansive collection of datasets, some well-prepped for ML and most not (which is part of the fun of it,

Totally agreed. For the thought experiment, make the super liberal assumption that most value was produced and realized in the past year (or a single year), and it becomes comparable. Otherwise, the inefficiency is a hard lower limit. So in

A thought experiment: how much energy should Bitcoin use? Bitcoin's mkt cap is ~$140B [0]. The world's GDP is ~$127T [1]. If we assume: 1) BTC market cap is representative of its economic output in accounting terms, or is at lea

This was awesome. Thank you! It’s incredible that it only takes ~70 people’s lives, end to end, to get back to the invention of cuneiform. Imagine all those people in a room. You could fit them in a small banquet hall. And between the oldes

I think Cassidy would agree with you. I think it's strategic wording to sell his mission and motivation better. It also potentially engages people who continue to think it's a subject of belief. That may provide an opportunity to

Not in SF, but just wanted to pass on that I took a look through your personal site and really enjoy it. Best of luck with Impossible Labs!

This would be a fantastic idea. SEWTHA made me see the world in a completely new way. When I finished it, I started seeing everything I use, see, or have as an energy process. I felt like I learned a first-principles toolkit I could use to

Aye – the list is great. I always admire personal recommendations! Will take a look at Bacigalupi.
