You basically prove my point. Your "proof" is some admirer claiming this guy discovered it [1] ? You realize, even if this were true, he'd (atleast) be third in the game. Also where pray tell me where is this glorious "p

Exercise in dealing with such "Exhibit A"'s: > Pythagoras' school provided the earliest documented proof of the theorem, but the result was possibly known as early as 3000 BC. Actually there is no known evidence Pytha

Don't you think that's a bit strange ? The dude was helping the massacre the Bantus in Africa and suddenly becomes a "messiah" in a few years after returning to India ? I mean that is a miracle [1]. I wish historical f

Wow! How much do people manage to generally save in Japan as opposed to SF ?

It's not clear that it will change every industry; it'll definitely lead to great job losses in certain fields with the oncoming ADAS boom. I can't think of other areas where it'll have such a big impact. Robotics (other

Seems like PR bait. Tim Davis' page is much much nicer. http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse/matrices/synopsis/ I think Trefethen too has nice visualization like this (or maybe that was the spect

Oh really? Pray tell me, oh self-conceited one, what I missed that is both in actual use and in that book ? For things outside this set, you'd not read this book anyway; nor would such things be called "deep learning" (othe

Don't need to when you read papers.

The only "math" in deep learning is given by reverse mode AD (or if you're into fancy stuff, "efficient computing of pullbacks"). The rest of it plain old hacking, and empirical tricks with the occasional variationa

Yeah, nature is concerned with our petty lives and freedoms.

You may as well ask: "Why are parish school students so Christian". This is not to say that they viscerally believe in these qualities... oh nooo. It's just that if you want to play the game, you optimize for the environmen

Considering the glut of neural network libraries, it'd be useful if there were some blurb about what makes this "special". To clarify myself, "what niche does this belong to". Caffe for instance remains (to the mise

Sadly you can only share pickleable objects in python multiprocessing.

Clearly you've never run any of the object detection nets. State of the art is still 70 fps on Pascal for a 300x300 image.

I'm not going to waterdown my analysis for some two bit politically correct occidentals and "hyper-nationalist" orientals. A large fraction of Indian children will be illiterate in these "thriving" languages in the

To be fair, the Wikipedia sites for these languages barely have any content. Of those that do exist most articles are essentially 2-line blurbs. These languages are essentially dead for all practical purposes.

Frankly you're overstretching. If you've ever driven in India you'd be questioning the very basis of humanity.

There are deep cnn models for doing joint recognition detection at around 60fps (at 300x300) at reasonable accuracy 75%. This is arguably the most expensIve part of the pipeline, but we sHould have atleast two more architectures out by NVDA

Indeed! I had to struggle with a consumer hp dv65xx for a few years before I finally got my hand on a thinkpad. Opening it up was a nightmare, and I broke random plastic things everytime I opened it up.

An artifice-ial language constructed based on ostensible ideological "homeland" based in the Baltics, is closest to one of the Baltic languages ? Gee, you don't say.

Interesting, since Assange accused the Guardian of sharing cables (meant for reporting) with the Mossad.

MashiRafael's insurance is gone, and apparently so is Assange's.

Indeed! I understand that getting symbolic reasoning out of NN-like architectures is the new "body-mind" problem (J. Tenenbaum ?), but I mean we already have that with PGMs and Markov logic and all those things. I really don'

Another of alt.right's religious gospels is about BTC being the new 'gold'; about how BTC and XAU will rise as the world is set to plunge. I can't speak for the latter, but anyone with a two bit brain can see that BTC mu

Unsolicited advice: alt.right religion does not reflect reality.
