Thanks for posting the Reddit link : I hadn't previously realised that the quality of the commentary in /r/MachineLearning was so high. I came across your link I had "check the real-ness of SARM" on my TODO list (al

Hmmm - I'm also thinking that this is one of those things that probably has a much better explanation - and the science/maths will (hopefully) backfill why it works so well. I half-remember from somewhere that as long as the gradi

Because vonnick has a habit of plugging deeplearning4j in every deep learning-related thread. IMHO, that's somewhat to be expected/laudable here on HN - particularly since deeplearning4j has an open-source framework, and has publ

Pressure on two sides of a surface don't have to be equal. The overall forces do, but there's an additional component being applied by the surface itself. An alternate way of looking at it : consider how the space station intern

As an early movie recommendation, I suggest WALL-E. We started with it at ~2ish, and every time we watch it together, there's more depth revealed (currently at 5.5years old). At first, it's about a robot and another robot doing s

Easily ~Youtube-able option with lots of episodes : "Kipper the Dog". Also 'findable' : The Clangers (charming 1970s show from the UK); Mr Men; Shaun the Sheep; Mr Benn. All of these are 'gentle' but fun, and n

The paper (with fewer typos) was actually accepted into 'ICONIP' in Japan in October - so I'll definitely have code on GitHub by the end of the summer. Currently my Theano implementation is buried in typical exploratory kind

It is a genuine message. It is also simple. But it isn't actually true. Computers are not able to learn like humans : the learning process is entirely different. And what they learn is different - even though it can be visualized i

"We are now at a point in history when algorithms can learn, like people, about pretty much anything. " seems pretty disingenuously worded. One infers from a quick read ~"Algorithms are now like people, and can learn about an

(nitpick) actually 10 TFLOPs is a more appropriate target. Doesn't make sense to aim to cripple your performance by a factor of 822 for marketing reasons...

This seems like an ultra-basic question (sorry). On the VectorBlox/orca github page, it mentions that the core takes ~2,000 LUT4s. Are those numbers apples-to-apples with the 22,320 LEs given for the Cyclone IV board mentioned earlie

Theano has the infrastructure in place for OpenCL, but not all 'operations' are implemented, which (for any decent calculation) means that it's a no-go [1]. Unfortunately, the focus at the Montreal lab that has a huge influen

FLOP-wise that makes sense. But for deep learning, the big deal is in the 12Gb GPU-local memory, which has enormous bandwidth (and can store more of your dataset / parameters at once). The largest concern with GPU processing is keepi
