The crosscat paper ( http://web.mit.edu/vkm/www/crosscat.pdf ) is super-terse. Is there a more gentle description somewhere? I'm quite familiar with generative models and MCMC sampling and reasonably familiar w

Build your kd-tree on the vectors expressed in the eigenvector basis. If the eigenvalues decrease fast enough, you can get bounds on the dot product while going only a few levels deep.

You're right to be skeptical but your alternative does not stand up to scrutiny. If a player indeed had a strong bite, milliseconds after the announcement would be the worst time to execute. This is a time where almost all the liquidit

Singapore is good for business but bad free speech. Fortunately, anonymous speech is much more easily done than anonymous business :)

It's cute that this surprises anyone. Someone who's not an egomaniac psychopath has about has much chances to win a presidential election as an average person has to win a gold medal in the olympics.

Try "Un gar une fille", it deals with typical, every day situations so it's good for vocabulary. Unfortunately, it may not be suitable for beginners. The conversations are fast paced and I haven't been able to find any French subtitles for

It's quite possible. Not only is it possible to perform deconvolution, but since you know that you're looking for text data, and you even have the font, you can do much better. You can iterate through millions of names very quickly and find

That is what happens when you push for political correctness. Sure it's not a handicap, it's a "difference", wait it's a "culture", a "community". Keep bashing this over and over, pass laws to force companies to feed that kool aid to their

I didn't say he probably had psychological issues because he ended up in the psychiatric hospital, I'm saying he had these issues because it did not trigger a wake up call.

It does, it shows that not all cases are similar and that there is potentially a large variance in outcomes and thus calls for collecting more data. It's a proof by existence.

Mathematician Paul Erdos heavily consumed amphetamines, and they did not consume him. This guy most likely had some psychological issues to begin with. You'd have to be a medical student, end up in a psychiatric hospital and not see that as

That's not the whole story. If 70% of the volume is HFT, it means you necessarily have a lot of HFT trading against HFT, which means a lot of HFT is going to be liquidity taking. Fortunately, that's only on public exchanges. Most of the liq

High frequency trader here: This is only looking at the volume on public exchanges. There are a lot of regulations around public exchanges which prevent them from operating efficiently. For instance, unless the stock has a very small price,

If this becomes policy, it will most likely become another example of Goodhart's law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodharts_law You can find a measure that correlates to performance, but once you use it to actually evaluate teacher, teac

Yes, and it's equally depressing that it's implausible you do that for a little while without totally draining the battery.

The basic idea behind "the black swan" is that given a limited sample it's foolish to try and estimate the probability of tail events, and thus in particular the expected value of convex functions. Say for instance you have a random variabl

Don't show street view, show the camera's feed and correlate it with street view, the GPS position and the compass in order to superimpose directions on the image. Light condition changes would be a pretty tough problem to solve though.
