It's been done before. Alex Graves achieved 1.33 bits per character using stacked LSTMs.[1] The current Hutter Prize record is 1.28 bpc. Note, however, that the 1.33 bpc value was calculated on a held-out validation set and doesn'

How about we stop arguing about which link to use and just pick one? I propose http://amzn.com/0345282779 . Of the three links proposed so far, this one is clearly the most authoritative.

The torrent contains the parameters for another neural network, VGG16, that this network makes use of. VGG16 is a network developed by the Visual Geometry Group at Oxford[1]. They released their parameters under CC BY-NC 4.0 to save others

I think most of those things will remain important: + Designing the network architecture is a means to instill your knowledge of the problem into the network. For example, using convolutions over images encodes some translational invariance

I'm not qualified to answer this, but I will anyway. To "operate" neural networks (as opposed to writing a framework for them), you need to know the building blocks. There are basic blocks like fully connected layers, convolu

If it actually bothers you, then do something about it. The author of these slides provided two versions of this material, one in prose (linked from my other comment in this thread) and these slides. Send a pull request to the XGBoost GitHu

I worked at a company (in the US) where there were stories of the CEO losing his temper. He must have gotten it under control at some point, since I never witnessed it while I was there.

I think you may have misunderstood the comment. In the US, Ireland, and probably elsewhere, police are using rogue cell sites ("Stingrays") for surveillance. The person you replied to is claiming that this is illegal, and the poli

I found an analogy with electronic circuits useful. You can implement any bitwise function using a single layer, a lookup table. The problem with that is it requires as many logic gates as there are inputs, exponentially many. As a result,

For DSPs, there's typically only a single, proprietary compiler available, and supporting the latest C++ standards isn't high priority for the companies making them.

Can you give an example? I have some speculation as to what you're referring to, but it's easier if you just say.

Agree 100%. The Rust community is excellent.

I disagree. As someone who knows how to use my system's package manager, it saves me from having to figure out the name of the package and whether or not I need to enable a 3rd party repository. Also, I know at least two people who use

A few suggestions: - The front page needs some short code samples and their output. Also, maybe showcase some libraries or projects the Octave community has created. - Make 'Documentation' a top-level menu entry. - Provide some &#

Given that CDNs are used on many different sites, it's easy for people running CDNs to track other people around the internet. There are also security issues: if you're referencing some JavaScript from a CDN, you're trusting

I like gestures for the same reason I like keyboard shortcuts: you don't have to aim. There's a tradeoff in UIs: large number of targets with few actions, or large number of actions with few targets. An example of the former is a
