I used fyxer.ai with my work gmail for the last few months and have found it’s been amazing. I send about 50% of the drafts without editing, and I’m surprised by how much better at spam filtering it is than gmail. Interested to try this out

I was thinking of censoring, maybe I should have said another word like floored. The reason I think of this as censoring is that there are are some classical statistical models that model a distribution with a large mass at a minimum thresh

If you withhold a small amount of data, or even retrain on a sample of your training data, then isotonicregression is good to solve many calibration problems. https://scikit-learn.org/dev/modules/generated/skl

My understanding of why bagging works well is because it’s a variance reduction technique. If you have a particular algorithm, the bias will not increase if you train n versions in ensemble, but the variance will decrease as more anomalous

Sure, I guess the best way to test this is to compose a new question, of a similar format.

Just in case people think I’m bad at reading with this comment, the original article didn’t cite romer. I’m glad it’s updated since it’s a good improvement to the article but this makes my comment a bit less coherent.

Looking at the PR history, it's interesting how few PRs are being merged per year. Of the ones that are they are very short, and typically buxfixes or changes to infrastructure rather than any new features. I think I count 4 prs merged

BigQuery has a generous 1TB/month free tier, and $6/tb afterwards. If you have small data, it's a pragmatic option, just make sure to use partitioning and sensible query patterns to limit the number of full-data scans, as you
