Kernel methods give a systematic and principled approach to training learning machines and the good generalization performance achieved can be readily justified using statistical learning theory or Bayesian arguments. We describe how to use kernel methods for classification, regression and novelty detection and in each case we find that training can be reduced to optimization of a convex cost function.

 

If you've ever asked yourself: "How do I choose the covariance function for a Gaussian process?" this is the page for you. Here you'll find concrete advice on how to choose a covariance function for your problem, or better yet, make your own.

 

This tutorial aims to provide an intuitive understanding of the Gaussian processes regression. Gaussian processes regression (GPR) models have been widely used in machine learning applications because of their representation flexibility and inherent uncertainty measures over predictions.

 

Has nice interactive examples and UMAP vs t-SNE

I've definitely had people who were working for me say "I have four boats" and I'm like wtf bc I know how much they make. Then I find out they live over an hour away from work in the middle of nowhere, their mortgage is less than half my rent and two of the boats are "project" boats that don't even run. The only drone person I know is childfree, huge savings right there, and they don't live in a city either. Tbh some of the things people do for these things, the amount of work does not make sense to me but if that's what you want to do with every single weekend, go right ahead.

Plus I find these people with a lot of money invested in their hobbies tend to be older, like 30-40 years old. Then I'm like, I could probably afford a 5k 3d printer in a decade but that's not what I would spend my money on.

My dad fixed up a Chinese laser cutter to save money (it was like 1k by the end of it), it sat in the basement for a while there. Personally, I assume YT is not their only job. I've worked with people that have sunk way more than 10k into their hobbies, the car people in particular are sometimes unbelievable and that I don't get. Drone and boat people too. The small planes are kind of cool. At least with these tools, you can actually make money off them.

3D printers and laser cutters are significantly cheaper now. Also those and CNC machines, people can use them for business like you send them the file and they ship you the item. Laser cutters people use for custom engraving, they just buy a bunch of blank keychains, coasters, etc off alibaba and make them on demand. You can find tons of these stores on etsy (people will just steal the models for popular characters and print them out on demand for a profit), here's a more expensive one. Or like my family, print out warhammer 40k models instead of buying them because it's literally cheaper.

Also these they might not have bought them new, like our university will rarely get rid of equipment to free up storage and because it's so specialized and so few people know how to get access, you can get a really good price. We had two rooms of printers that we had to get rid of because students kept breaking them and it was too much of a pain to keep them running. We also bought new milling equipment to upgrade the shop and got rid of the old stuff which was working fine.

Interesting concept, might be a good mod tool too to be able to limit instance interaction on a community level

 

Broadly speaking, Machine Learning refers to the automated identification of patterns in data. As such it has been a fertile ground for new statistical and algorithmic developments. The purpose of this course is to provide a mathematically rigorous introduction to these developments with emphasis on methods and their analysis.

That's not unusual, imo high refresh rates on phones are a bit of a marketing tactic bc they don't really have the computation power to support it when it counts (no one really cares if a static GUI is shown at 120 Hz but it is a waste of battery, you want it for gaming, videos, etc)

 

A good set of best practices for deployment that isn't language-specific

 

Coding nowadays is a big part of ML and while it's important that the model works well, it's also important that the code is written properly too.

Link is the general python version, ML-specific version here: https://github.com/davified/clean-code-ml

They say they'll do it but if they get a enough users without it then I think they might scrape that feature. I can't imagine it integrates well with their existing code

Not really a new thing for them, they've been trying to milk r/place since the first one. The last time they let it run too long as well, it needed to be like a 1 or 2 day max thing not a week

In my experience, like 99% of researchers are bad at presentations anyways

It's not a required ingredient for sunscreen to work, it's just to make it more water resistant (it stays on your skin longer) so those chemicals are typically used in sunscreen that's marked for water/sports applications. You can buy PFAS free sunscreen too

Largely by avoiding waterproof or water resistant skincare products such as sunscreen and makeup. Also avoid using nonstick cookware.
