The claim that “tourism has little financial benefits to the local economy in Venice” is debatable and context-dependent. Here's a detailed breakdown addressing both why the claim …

Algebra geometry view makes sense to me. Considering ML as a learning to approximate scheme algorithm. Tensor representation is similar to the SDP trick achieving the optimal max-s…

US was wiser than others because we were able to look at our mistakes and fix them admirably. It's only a weak character who tries to demonize others in exchange for self-comfortin…

To be honest, many potential murders sacrifice themselves so much that I can live safely. I really should have thanked them for not killing me.

From the physics point of view, an intelligence is to keep the universe running in the perfect order, no waste of energy to increase the temperature. All accurate predictions align…

If quantum reality is objective, then probabilistic reality is objective. Deterministic probability like Chaos or second law of thermodynamics imply the existence of incomplete inf…

> This is a review paper. It's long. Past the first sentence I find it readable and well organized. It mentions some of the work on interpretability I'd expect to see, Finale-Velez…

https://promo.guahao.com/en/global/pneumonia/?_cp=yhcbz0315 It seems that a lot of Chinese doctors volunteer to consult on this coronavirus. Not sure whether they are helpful or no…

Exactly. a+b should be the same as a.add.b A high level programming language should be designed for communication instead of dictating the computations.

In terms of the statistical learning framework, the Bayesian optimal classifiers are NP hard to find under distribution free conditions. The models have rather large confidence int…

If they don't buy it from the store, they have to make it themselves. Everybody are satisfied in the transaction because they played well on this trivial zero sum game instead of f…

Supervised learning algorithms assume that the input data are iid of the future. This is not valid in most of the real applications. The observation that we see men more than women…

The fear is that jobs left to humans are those low level ones. Technology divide up the society into elites who control machines and labors who is controlled by machines. And gradu…

Python does have a lot of problems, but it's so far the most flexible language like English. High level programming language is meant to communicate, not to dictate the computation…

Most of human knowledge are represented in logic. Semantic web is designed from description logic. A less powerful logic than first order logic.

It seems odd to me that they ended up computing the average of the word vectors which is way too simple to represent meaning. Similarity metric over this semantic vector is not acc…

HK has been in a bad economic situation for many years. Without mainland China's support, it's even worse. The tension in the HK society is at the breaking point. Young generation …

I like the Capsule idea too. In some way, capsule network is very similar to sparse attention network. It's just the attention normalization is different. Attention is normalized o…

I prefer a user driven random walk. Like a multi-arm bandit over a hierarchical graph instead of a stuck-in-local-minimun + noise recommender. But no one does it. Years ago, there …

I am not sure that I get the definition of skill right. Does classifying hot dog or not count as a unique skill or not? Or does object detection count as one skill? Intelligence is…

Instead of overfitting , it's more related to exploitation vs exploration. We see more men related to programming might be just that women are not given opportunities to explore th…

Agree. Most of program languages are context free. Human language is mostly context dependent. The auto completion and auto suggestion are the tools to close the gaps of the user e…

It's always a small group of people apply forces on the rest. In communism, it's the party members. In capitalism, it's the board of directors. communism prioritizes fairness. capi…

Good comment. A truly ideological person with high moral ground should help instead of blame. Media's double standard is a deal with evil.

USA has been a dictator around the world for a century. So many unethical wars involved. So many radical movements are cultivated by US propaganda. Now these fear fed propaganda ar…
