And, consequently, this may have serious implications for language models that use the Scots Wikipedia corpus. [0] [0] https://twitter.com/r_speer/status/1298297872228786176

We do. If you’re interested in the architecture particulars (I.e. which layer types, layer shapes, layer parameters, activation functions, etc) you’ll commonly see these in deep le…

I'm econ undergrad -> DS -> Machine learning. Econ is very useful for data science if you focus on the right subjects: statistics, math, and experimental design. You get all the ha…

How do you come to the conclusion that ML is a buzzword here? It's natural to publicize interesting new research that grounds a field -- as statisticial learning theory does for ma…

Deep Graph Library (DGL) [1] came out in November and I've heard good things. It looks easy and intuitive. [1] https://github.com/dmlc/dgl

For more, I highly recommend looking at the accepted papers from the NeurIPS 2018 Relational Representation Learning workshop. [1] I really enjoyed the workshop and I hear workshop…

There are a lot of talented ML researchers in China. This is a product of (a) the government and major companies (i.e. BAT) investing heavily in fundamental ML research (b) the pop…

I'm curious: if you think so much about climate change and its effects, and even plan your actions and location around it, have you considered directing your energy to combatting c…

Sounds interesting. The two big barriers to this system are: 1. Political buy-in to set a cost of carbon emission 2. Economic viability of removal (often referred to as carbon capt…

This is a great idea Ben, and I appreciate the work you do. Do you see Kaggle datasets as a tool to encourage better data formatting, or are you also thinking about building tools …

The link at the bottom should be emphasized: https://github.com/awesomedata/awesome-public-datasets It is a very expansive collection of datasets, some well-prepped for ML and most…

Totally agreed. For the thought experiment, make the super liberal assumption that most value was produced and realized in the past year (or a single year), and it becomes comparab…

A thought experiment: how much energy should Bitcoin use? Bitcoin's mkt cap is ~$140B [0]. The world's GDP is ~$127T [1]. If we assume: 1) BTC market cap is representative of its e…

This was awesome. Thank you! It’s incredible that it only takes ~70 people’s lives, end to end, to get back to the invention of cuneiform. Imagine all those people in a room. You c…

I'm wondering how you manage thinking about many different not-well-formed ideas in your research process. I find the academic research lifestyle highly variable: at times too dens…
