I'm not sure if this is directly mentioned in the paper, but I didn't see any mention specifically about the conflation between a validation set and test set. When people actually …

Your description of tanh isn't even correct, it squashes a real number to `(-1, 1)`, not "less than one". You're curious about whether there is gain in parameterising activation fu…

Learnable parameters on activations do exist, look up parametric activation functions.

How was that person derailing the convo? Nothing says an activation function has to "squash" a number to be in some range. Leaky ReLUs for instance do `f(x) = x if x > 0 else ax` (…

ACE 7, recently got my PhD in ML and am doing reasonably well, at least from an 'objective' lens (I have a well paying job and bought my first condo recently). My mind is still cha…

no we just replaced feature engineering with architectural engineering

The issue is the obsession with benchmark datasets and their flaky evaluation

sophisticated AI != aimbot accuracy

I wish I had the ability to toggle PiP for any open window, while I am in full screen mode. For instance, I have both Chrome and Emacs side by side full screen and I can use a hotk…

http://beckham.nz/blog Mostly theoretical-ish deep learning stuff as of late (I'm a PhD candidate in that field). But I want to expand it into really anything: psychology, dating, …

A relevant quote here seems to be: "if a measure becomes a target, it ceases to become a good measure". Also true of academia in general because of the obsession with citations.

Not to be confused with open source ML toolkit WEKA: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weka_(machine_learning) Huh, that's funny, I guess which one came first?

Nice work! Is it possible to somehow switch to a tab somehow using this? (Use case: switching browser tabs within Emacs). Thanks
