My roommate has a cat who mostly hangs out in the living room. I never had pets growing up, so I never interact with it. Every so often, when I'm walking past it to get around the apartment, it swipes at/scratches me, even drawing

As someone who aggressively uses conda, I do think one of its downsides is how heavy it is. I agree that it's a good one-stop-shop if you want to get an environment up and running with no issues. But if you're not doing any scient

And here is a tweet thread on why using NLP models to "fill in" the redacted portions is a horrendously terrible idea. https://twitter.com/emilymbender/status/1119081131234611201

If anything, I've found Airpods to be extremely visible given their stark white color. As opposed to darker bluetooth headpieces that I often missed.

I know this talking point has been brought up by different people, but it's worth pointing out that Transformers were already covered in the class in 2018. https://web.stanford.edu/class/archive/cs/cs224n

The success of Transformers aside, I'm not sure you should be relying on model titles for anything, lest we forget papers like "One Model To Learn Them All" [1]. [1] https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.05137

Aren't causal convolutions basically CNNs with masking?

by phowon 8y ago
Putting aside the whole Schmidhuber debate - where are people getting this idea that causal convolutions are anywhere near the prominence of RNNS/LSTMs? As far as I'm aware, causal convolutions were used in WaveNet (and subsequent

The Hug of Death seems to have killed the page so I can't really tell what it's about, but here's an example of inserting new trainable layers in BERT: https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.00751

There is no constraint that companies must maximize shareholder value. Companies can be set up for any number of reasons (including non-profit reasons).

What is it generally used for though? To me, a "k.v" store sounds like a very generic but nice thing to have, but I still don't have a good sense of what it is and what people think of it. The one place I've run into it

As someone who is fairly tech literate but not familiar with this tech stack - in practical terms, what is Redis, and what is it used for?

The BERT paper also introduced BERT Base, with is 12 layers with approximately the same number of parameters as GPT, but still outperforms GPT on GLUE.

With ELMo, the pretrained weights are frozen. Only the scalars for ELMo layers are tuned (as well as the additional top-level model, of course).

It's relatively small modification of BERT with multi-task fine-tuning and slightly different output heads. It should be easy for any NLP researcher to replicate.

Put another way, even if you take the strict definition of a rational (optimal) agent, in probably any non-trivial or non-contrived corner case, for any arbitrary set of actions, there exists some utility function and information constraint

I am aware of the origin of the word. I am distinguishing between the generic notion of a meme (which as you pointed out simply means "transmittable idea", which is an incredibly general concept) and the specific notion of an Inte

That's not what's being discussed here. We're talking about when the word 'meme' was repurposed to refer to "Internet trend".

Outsiders to 4chan would probably also be surprised at the site-wide outpouring of genuine sadness, nostalgia and gratitude when moot announced that he was stepping down.

Yes! I needed someone to confirm that people used to call it "fads" before memes.

>For example, in jointly learning to align and translate, the attention is certainly not invariant to number of context vectors. You train the attention to take in a fixed number of context vectors and produce a distribution over the fix

So I'm curious - is this considered blackmail if the object isn't money?

by phowon 8y ago
It really is underappreciated how much 4chan has shaped Internet, and now mainstream, culture.

by phowon 8y ago
I'm not sure if you're understanding me correctly. Attention is generally length invariant. You take some transformation on the hidden representations (/+ inputs) at that each time step, and then you normalize over all the tr
