I don't think Hindi's phonology is more complex than English, but it is all explicit in the character set rather than implicit in the etymology. (The voicing difference between "this" and "thistle" is my favori

I think if the system provides reliable results, people will come around. There are a lot of preferences that players have, but I think they ultimately come to respect systems that work.

Even that is still assuming you can only update parameters once per game, and only for the players in the game. If I've played a large number of games against someone, and the win-rate is 50/50, and then that player plays in a tou

ELO is a stochastic gradient descent approximation of logistic regression. You can do much better just by actually running the logistic regression over the games. In this framework, incorporating any per-game bias such as the characters cho

I was thinking that it's analogous to ก็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ where the character dictates how the surrounding characters are rendered.

I'd say if the formatting changes the meaning of the language, Unicode should support it. So if you are searching through text, any change to your query string that you would like to constrain the text that matches should be supported

I really like the idea of adding math support to Unicode via combining characters. It's more complicated than anything Unicode currently deals with, but not that much more complicated, and the idea of being able to put math into anythi

The assumption is that or brains are trained to deal with anything our eyes send them. The observation is that blurred images are a common thing our eyes send, while images with random frequencies deleted are not. This model would explain w

Compensation happens within our visual system as well, not just by saccading. As an experiment, with your eyes focused on your phone, identify the objects around you without moving your eyes. You can still do it very well, and likely need t

This paper says that CNNs learns from different features than we do and that can be filtered out in the frequency domain. That's still learning.

I'm pretty sure that's because you are constantly trained on that type of image in your day to day life. "Radial masking in the Fourier domain" is pretty much identical to an image that it is out of focus or seen with a

If we couldn't deal with blurry images through some means, we couldn't recognize objects because our fovea is too small to contain them (a quarter held at arm's length.)

>I don't see how this follows. What we're not focused on is blurred, yes, but what we're focused on is at least partially related to our ability to recognize patterns (e.g. reading from peripheral vision is very difficult)

by moultano 9y ago
Humans do well with blurred images because our vision is blurry everywhere except our fovea and our current focal plane. So I'm a bit skeptical that this tells us something about the difference between cnns and humans. Especially since

Yes! Lots of them actually. 1. The gaussian distribution is important (all sums converge to it) and the squared difference from the mean characterizes it. 2. Euclidean space is important, and squared errors stay the same if you rotate every

There's a good midpoint of those two. Cap student loan payments at some fraction of your income for some fraction of your life. Those seem like reasonable restrictions for a loan that isn't dischargeable by bankruptcy.
