Software 2.0
I sometimes see people refer to neural networks as just “another tool in your machine learning toolbox”. They have some pros and cons, they work here or there, and sometimes you can use them to win Kaggle competitions. Unfortunately, this interpretation completely misses the forest for the trees. Neural networks are not just another classifier, …
AlphaGo, in context
Update Oct 18, 2017: AlphaGo Zero was announced. This post refers to the previous version. 95% of it still applies. I had a chance to talk to several people about the recent AlphaGo matches with Ke Jie and others. In particular, most of the coverage was a mix of popular science + PR so the most …
ICML accepted papers institution stats
The accepted papers at ICML have been published. ICML is a top Machine Learning conference, and one of the most relevant to Deep Learning, although NIPS has a longer DL tradition and ICLR, being more focused, has a much higher DL density. Most mentioned institutions I thought it would be fun to compute some stats on …
A Peek at Trends in Machine Learning
Have you looked at Google Trends? It’s pretty cool — you enter some keywords and see how Google Searches of that term vary through time. I thought — hey, I happen to have this arxiv-sanity database of 28,303 (arxiv) Machine Learning papers over the last 5 years, so why not do something similar and take a look at how …
ICLR 2017 vs arxiv-sanity
I thought it would be fun to cross-reference the ICLR 2017 (a popular Deep Learning conference) decisions (which fall into 4 categories: oral, poster, workshop, reject) with the number of times each paper was added to someone’s library on arxiv-sanity. ICLR 2017 decision making involves a number of area chairs and reviewers that decide the …
Virtual Reality: still not quite there, again.
The first time I tried out Virtual Reality was a while ago — somewhere in the late 1990’s. I was quite young so my memory is a bit hazy, but I remember a research-lab-like room full of hardware, wires, and in the middle a large chair with a big helmet that came down over your head. I …
