I wish there were an easy way to browse the most recent papers by category. Or get an email of the daily digest of what's added today for my favorite categories. I know arXiv does this, but it's in such an unreadable format that i

I disagree that you need a solid founding in information theory. Almost all that I've seen about IT in ML is minimizing the KL divergence, which can be learned by browsing the wiki page.

Damn, did not expect to see this paper on here. When I read it, I wasn't thinking it could be listed under the "all-time favorite CS papers", but the connections are quite interesting and (retrospectively) intuitive. I'l

The connection between these two has always been hazy to me. I often mixed up the two when talking about each of them independently. This article was well-written, exactly precise enough, and cleared up the confusion. Thanks for sharing!

Very simple interface, but even the cherry-picked examples in the readme are quite poor in terms of meaning/grammatical correctness. It is even using pretty state-of-the-art techniques such as LSTMs and word embeddings, but the results

I started reading a book with an eerily similar title to this article[1] and it's quite a good read so far, similarly discussing symmetry, as well as the history behind the development of this theory. [1] https://www.amazon.

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing -- I'll look more into this.

It would be pretty much impossible for the programmers to "build the behavior in" to the neural network, unless you mean training on supervised data or something.

As a ML researcher and an avid dota fan, I'm jealous! And it must have been great with Dendi the legend there too.

Icefrog also balances the game for fun, not just for the theoretical limit of what's equally fair.

Why not first allow the AI to have unlimited APM and beat humans, then restrict it later? Because I don't think we're even close to the easier problem.

That's just because we know very little about them. It very well could be the case that factoring semiprimes might be ridiculously easy, but we are just too dumb right now to figure out how to do it quickly (even if P != NP -- we haven

No, that's what NP means. Given a witness to a solution of a problem, verifying that the solution is correct in polynomial time means the problem is in NP.

I don't really see the point in prime classification, I feel like you're never gonna get better than doing a deterministic sieve algorithm. Even if it did do quite well in terms of accuracy, probabilistic models aren't 100% c

The people whose parents are paying for college already have more of an advantage so they would be more likely to have an ROI from college.

If you're fine with the on-screen keyboard (which is fine for browsing, once you get used to it), flipping the keyboard so the keys are on your lap and the back rest lies on the back of the keycover is pretty good for lap usage.

I think you are vastly underestimating how fast trends in the market come out. USB-A was two years ago . We're currently in the "having tons of dongles" state. In a year, it'll be 50% USB-C 50% other stuff. In 3 years,
