Interesting, thanks for sharing!

That was true in the first Makridakis competition ("M1") in 1982, and possibly until M4 in 2018, but both M5 and M6 were won by what would generally be considered relatively sophis…

XGBoost, LightGBM, and Catboost are all used quite frequently in competitions. LightGBM is actually marginally more popular than the other two now, but it's pretty close. In the M5…

Yeah, this book was incredible and the tech in it has aged extremely well. Have you tried any of Ted Chiang's books? They're also great hard sci-fi. Another one that plays with sim…

Agreed, and not only do they not compare their model to Phi-2 directly, the benchmarks they report don't overlap with the ones in the Phi-2 post[1], making it hard for a third part…

There have been quite a few interesting Kaggle competitions in recent years, as well as other interesting ML/data science competitions on other platforms. Platforms like Kaggle, Dr…

An interesting approach I came across at NeurIPS a few weeks ago is called "ML with Requirements"[1]: https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.03674 My basic understanding is that it combines "s…

I had a chance to chat to them again today, and wrote some more details here: https://mlcontests.com/neurips-2023/tutorials/#exhibit-hall Also as the other comment mentioned, https…

I built a slightly less detailed version of this, which also also lists free credits: https://cloud-gpus.com/ Open to any feedback/suggestions! Will be adding 4090/H100 shortly.

Having your own GPU is nice, but it's power hungry, heats the room, and only really makes sense if you use it a lot. For a list of cloud GPU providers with rough price comparisons,…

If anyone is interested in a GPU-specific comparison across these three and other providers, I created this page for that: https://cloud-gpus.com Happy to get any feedback on this!…

Good try, and there are indeed different types of infinities, but your examples both represent the same "countable" infinity of the natural numbers! You can create a bijection betw…

Hi! I started mlcontests.com because I wanted to be able to have a simple overview of live Kaggle-style competitions, and I've been running it as a side project for almost two year…
