Interesting work. Is this a wrapper around the AUTOLEAN project ( https://github.com/T3S1AMAX/autolean )?

Much of your argument rests on refuting the notion that the author feels "entitled" to a high-paying job. In that point, I agree with you. Any engineering undertaking is most productive when it is a meritocratic and competitive pu

I agree that the data collection process wasn't ethical, and the professor should definitely be reprimanded for that. It's extremely sad that the coauthors weren't aware of this as well. And I feel terrible for the undergrads

Putting papers and code on arXiv shouldn't be punished. The incentive to do this is to protect your idea from getting scooped, and also to inform your close community on interesting problems that you're working on and get feedback

I admit that Imagenet isn't the best analogy here. But I'm pretty confident that this data cleaning issue would be caught in peer review. The biggest issue which I still don't understand was the removal of the test set. That

I'm not sure what to make of this post. There is always a degree of uncertainty with the experimental design and it's not surprising that there are a couple of buggy questions. Imagenet (one of the most famous CV datases) at this

I've been struggling with keeping track of research experiments and code at the same time. This seems pretty cool! I like how this method is language agnostic and uses "matured" tools. Question: I'd love to give this a t

The original comment, to me, reads more like "subject GRE is a definitive measure of eventual success in academia." I was arguing against the definitive part. Thanks for the clarification. Maybe it might be a good measure for

Respectfully, I call bullshit. You can't quantify success in a PhD with a single variable. There are a billion ways research can go right or wrong -- irrespective of your personal pedigree. Your ideas might be too early or late for you

I find differentiable programming languages really fascinating. Think about this: a differentiable programming language is still a programming language. If the language is designed to facilitate a smooth optimization landscape, it's ac

I don't see how nuclear is any more dangerous than any other renewable sources of electricity. The law of conversation of energy dictates that the residual waste energy has to go somewhere for any process. Any and all energy production

Awesome work guys! A couple of knee jerk reactions while playing around with this: 1. In my work (also at UT actually: Hook 'em), we've found that the hallucination problem is, in part, lessened by over-parametrizing the model. Pl

It can be really tempting to think about research progression on a "linear" timescale but more often than not it eventually ends up following an "exponential" curve because of technical debt. And there appears to be a _l

Hmmm. I can't get the model to recognize a damped sinusoidal wave (10, 0, -10, 0, -5, 0, 5, ...). Does the model have the capacity to express such a function? An equation is available here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

There's a great explanation of this on the astronomy stack exchange ( https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/a/48317 ).

Yup! There are a ton of examples of this in robot learning. For instance: https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.10790 by NVIDIA uses photorealistic images and something we call domain randomization to efficiently bridge the sim2r

Great work! I found the results in Fig 16 pretty interesting [0]... From response 1, it seems that the model has very little confidence in its decision but get the correct answer while, on the contrary, in response 3, the model seems very c

> no way to run headless if you wan't 64bit OS. Could you expand on that a bit more? I'm currently running a Pi3B+ 64bit Raspbian headless and have had no problems so far. Does the Pi4 not allow 64bit headless?
