What do you mean? How does that help you to decide if a paper is worth reading or not?

"something is not quite right" is called intuition, machines can't have intuition, once they have they won't be machines anymore.

Well I won't say the HSBC voice ID one was a failure, identical looking guy with similar voice can fool any human being.

Plot twist, playing chess is considered as "haraam" (forbidden/degeneracy) according to most Sunni Islamic clerics.

What does it actually mean by "unknown alloy"? All periodic table metal/metalloid elements can be extracted and detected. Even a standard high school chemistry texts include these processes with wet experiments to be done in

Because you can't establish any gradient information from the design variables (antenna topology) to the objective function (i.e. antenna gain). So most of the time you might end up climbing towards some wrong direction (i.e. local opt

What do you do if you don't have any computable "gradient"? Many real world optimization problems don't come with any gradient information.

This might also be relevant, http://www.human-competitive.org/ This is an annual competition on evolving "human competitive" solutions to difficult real world problems.

But I used to know GAs don't need gradient information, right? The algorithm is supposed to discover the gradient by itself, if there is any.

Exactly, GA suffered very badly during the AI winter to be more specific, but it's coming to the scene again. In fact, GAs don't need gradient information at all. If you want to do some weird stuffs like evolving deep networks, mu

I think I've also read somewhere about a bug in the java Random class, it was something about after N iterations, the number starts from iteration 1 where N is not very big (i.e. clearly visible pattern/cyclic repeat in the number

the biggest difference, in academia you code on sunday night and actually, a very small number of people read your code. But in industry, you write a code and then it goes through a pipeline of multiple reviews, so you end up spending most

It's strange that the article does not mention anything about hydraulic macroeconomics and MONIAC, they were once widely used to verify theories in economics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MONIAC https:/&#x2

What about a stochastic optimization techniques like this one described here? http://www.human-competitive.org/sites/default/files/deb-myb... The paper describes a real parameter function optimization problem

The colouring algorithm is very interesting, what if we give a dinosaur image as an input after learning the network with images from all the 10,000 reptile species?

Interestingly, bat penis looks astoundingly similar to that of human. Of course, that has nothing to do with phylogeny, but with convergent evolution.

I have seen a couple of news on communal violence (resulted in death) originating from a facebook post, is there any statistics on that?

interestingly, the antenna optimizer (AO) software uses genetic algorithm to find the right the antenna topology, therefore, this antenna is not designed, it's evolved. more details can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.or

amazing, but what kind of display is that? how does an LCD render the white noise so smoothly? very strange.

80's Japanese electronics were way ahead, my dad had one casio FX-602p calculator, I think still we have that one at home. It had an interface on the top and you could attach the calculator to a box like device and that device had 3 au
