If you know the language to use, you can get into that world yourself. For instance [did dinosaurs exist]. Only creationists talk about dinosaurs that way, and so you only get creationist content returned. People with a conventional view of

Ironically, this sort of pigeon-holing is mostly a problem with treating query text literally (or syntactically.) Language is full of shibboleths, and people indicate their worldview by the words they choose to use. The more naively a searc

Medical devices kill people when they break. Hopefully IoT devices don't, and the liability will be correspondingly lower. If your company makes no attempt to patch vulnerabilities, and your devices become one more bot in the botnet, t

Seems like you could validate using random points in the latent space, and crudely verifying that the nearest neighbors in image space aren't similar.

How would a landlord go about blighting a community that they don't control?

by moultano 9y ago
I'd take a slightly different take: - Structure your code so it is mostly leaves. - Unit test the leaves. - Integration test the rest if needed. I like this approach in part because making lots of leaves also adds to the "literate

This is probably true of everyone as they age, but the demographic bubble of the baby boom gives them unusual political power to fight change. If the population were growing more the young would just outvote them. Our political system is ju

The world population is increasing, and people are moving from rural areas and smaller cities to large cities in record numbers in every country on earth. The generations behind you want the opportunity to live in cities too. What gives you

Are there any (perhaps prohibitively expensive) techniques that give high fidelity for transposons? This seems like a problem well suited to machine learning, given a dataset of paired high quality and low quality sequence data.

This is a really wonderful idea. I love the thought that math support could become as ubiquitous as support for unicode strings. (You could search the web for math!!!) Math is a language, and right now probably the worst supported language

It's the legacy of slavery. People are very uncomfortable with things that look kinda like it. The things that are actually like it (our prison system) comparatively pass unnoticed.

For a simple example, imagine a dataset where the naive assumption is true if you split it into 100 classes, but false if you split it into one vs everything else. All of the conditional probabilities for the "everything else" cla

What's frustrating is that lots of people will superficially disagree at 5 and seem reasonable, but if you dig a little deeper, they actually disagree at 1 and you are wasting your time. It's unfortunately my prior at this point.

This is not invariant to the size of the document (though agreed, generally better). It doesn't solve the problem of having mostly positive features and a negative prior. Stated more formally, your model is b + wᵀx. Generally, b is &lt

Lots of reasonable hacks. 1. Use only the beginning of the document, as that's probably the most important part anyways, and it's fast. 2. Divide the sum of your feature scores by sqrt(n) to give it constant variance, and hopefull

A practical issue for Naive Bayes that also infects linear models is bias w.r.t. document length. Typically when you are detecting a rare, relatively compact class such as sports articles (or spam) you will tend to have a strongly negative
