   Love that students are thinking about how they can apply what they learn to real problems. However, choosing such a charged topic needs to be managed by an advisor - @h_jackson_ is about to get a lot more than she probably bargained for in

   inference is so fundamental to ML there should be classes just taught from the perspective - currently you'll encounter it in a graphical models course and when discussing networks of course, but again, viewing ML from the lens of infe

    It'll probably come back in some form. Totally agree that too much emphasis was on the test score and that it didn't actually represent the student and their likelihood for success at the university. This is just Goodhart's l

    I'm really surprised that binary CNNs aren't more popular - i understand that you're taking a decent hit in performance for CPU usage & a GPU really isn't all that expensive - but to me it's really interesting.
