"Bullshit is the junk food of experience." Well put!

I'm currently taking a graduate class in Applied Cryptography and will definitely use this as another resource for reference. Love that they've opened it up and made it free.

I use a Jupyter notebook to explore how a Bayesian might compare two products on Amazon with the goal of finding the probability that one product is better than another.

That makes sense. I'm coming from the angle of applied ML where solutions need to solve a business problem rather than advance the field of ML. In consulting many problems can't be…

I didn't mean to make it sound incidental although I do see your point. Just wanted to chime in with how important having a labeled dataset is for a successful ML project.

I don't disagree with your point, but the unsupervised aspect of NLP typically isn't useful on its own. Usually it's a form of pre-training to help supervised models perform better…

Those are certainly important advances, but they don't really apply to most business needs for AI or ML.

I basically agree with this rule. I find that my colleagues who overly hype unsupervised approaches typically don't have much experience working on ML problems without labeled data…

Time will tell, but as a machine learning engineer, when you see results this good it's more probable that a mistake was made. They could be reporting the training error on an over…

I appreciate this thoughtful and detailed reply. I was thinking all those things in my head while reading as well, but couldn't bring myself to invest the time to address them all.…

I partially agree. Perhaps you comment is related to Brieman's Two Cultures? Paper: https://projecteuclid.org/euclid.ss/1009213726 I think you're right that they are two different …

I'm excited to see a couple lectures with Swift. All the work to add interoperability with Python and make swift-jupyter is very appreciated and feels like it's Xmas in June.
