A Few Useful Things to Know about Machine Learning [pdf]
- atrilla 12y agoA very practical and useful collection of hints. I particularly support the point about tailoring the set of informative features. In the end, there is no free lunch for the "core" of the machine learning method (cf., http://ti.arc.nasa.gov/m/profile/dhw/papers/78.pdf http://ti.arc.nasa.gov/m/profile/dhw/papers/78.pdf). Now deep learning seems to debunk the more-or-less usefulness of the feature extraction step.
- mulligan 12y agoI still don't understand why papers are not dated.
- lgas 12y agoI agree. Same with lots of articles on new sites, blogs, etc. But for what it's worth this paper was published in the Oct 2012 issue of Communications of the ACM, so it's at least that old. http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2347755 http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2347755
