Supply generates its own demand; by making captioning even cheaper, it can increase the demand for transcription services and people to check it over. There are a lot of podcasts and YT videos that could benefit from transcriptions but it&#

We have to hardwire architectures because we can't learn architectures yet, or to put it another way, backpropagation doesn't yet work on hyperparameters as well as on parameters. Hyperparameters should be learnable as in theory

If you want fine-grained tagging/categorization, you would be even better off with the -boorus.

That was deliberate. I couldn't resist either.

It could also reflect what is most distinguishable. Which is easier for a NN to confidently distinguish: black pubic hair on black skin, or black pubic hair on white skin? Darker nipples on black skin, or darker nipples on white skin? etc Y

What sort of performance can be expected compared to running in the terminal? How large NNs will this scale to in practice? I see a 50-layer resnet is mentioned; but not 1000-layers?

It's interesting to read about the debate between doing editing/screen-drawing on the physical terminal ('smart' hardware) and doing it all in software. The wheel of reincarnation in action! Something we've seen in

How would you know if they have been? As the human population shoots up massively, car-miles have increased enormously over the past century, and rural areas become denser, the number of deer-car accidents would skyrocket even if they have

The obsession with information theory here seems like a classic nail-hammer thing. The number of bits my tests convey is totally useless to think about and certainly not worth spending pages on. All I want from my tests from a code base I m

You can definitely see where this is going. My first thought was the same: 'we need eyetracking for foveated rendering anyway, so we can get realistic eyes for free', and if you can do that, you can track the eyebrows and muscles

I wouldn't bet a bent penny on it: "Experts said it was likely that the NSA or FBI had approached other Internet companies with the same demand, since they evidently did not know what email accounts were being used by the target.

You could probably apply the same code. The dataset ("acquire 75,471 sketches of 12,500 objects") sounds adequate, and if not, can be boosted by first training a CNN to do photo->sketch (throwing away information is usually eas

It doesn't seem to lead to any harms when done as part of preimplantation genetic diagnosis in general, so this specific case shouldn't be too bad.

You're not supposed to. Image generation and modeling scene dynamics is a hard task, and thumbnail scale is what we're at at the moment. Nevertheless, those and other papers do demonstrate that NNs are perfectly capable of learnin

Many NNs can be compressed considerably without losing much performance. The runtime of RNNs is more concerning, as is whether anyone wants to move to a new image format, but it's still interesting pure research in terms of learning to

A quad Titan X is still $4k for the GPUs alone, and was only possible in the past few months - people might have wanted to get stuff done in the years in between the last generation and the current generation...

Not sure there's anything to explain. Waking up and then going back to sleep is going to help with inducing lucid dreams, supplement-assisted or not, that's the point of WILD.

A $3k Tesla K80 GPU is not 'consumer', nor do most consumers (or most researchers or small businesses) have $24k to drop on a set of GPUs alone.
