I took "Mathematical Methods for Quantitative Finance" from edX, which covered these topics, and found it really rewarding.

Yes, you are totally correct, but I believe this term is omitted from the cross-entropy loss function that is used in machine learning? Because it is a constant which does not contribute to the optimization. Please correct me if I'm

To bring things full circle: the cross-entropy loss is the KL divergence. So intuitively, when you're minimizing cross-entropy loss, you're trying to minimize the "divergence" between the true distribution and your model

I was concussed and suffered from persistent headaches for 2 years. It was really tough. I was suicidal. My only reprieve from pain was falling asleep. I saw a neurologist and he told me that two most important things for your brain are: -

I go to the office almost everyday by choice. Free food, snacks, and coffee, gym, and medical clinics on campus. And it's just nice to get dressed and leave the house. But it's really nice to have the flexibility to WFH when I nee

Aren't you describing quantum field theory (QFT)? Anyway, what exactly is a field besides a mathematical object? What is it made of?

I grew up in Canada, but my family and I are first generation immigrants from Ukraine. The privilege of my peers left a huge, almost traumatizing, impression on me. My parents were constantly working overtime at their minimum wage jobs at a

I slaughtered about 40 chickens once. I was probably around 19 at the time. My ex-girlfriend's dad just told me to get in the truck, asked his kids to stay at home, and took me to a chicken coop where him and his friend were raising ch

Yes, but it also makes a huge difference whether we are asking the model to interpolate or extrapolate. Generally speaking, models perform much better on the former task, and have big problems with the latter.

One of my favourite economic paradoxes. It changes the way you think about efficiency and consumption. My colleague introduced me to this idea. He had been studying ways to increase computing efficiency out of concern for the environment. M

Last time I went into an MRI, I realized half way through that I had forgotten to take off my metal necklace. Thankfully it was silver - it was an extreme purity test.

Of course, but that's not the issue that's being described here. The issue is 1st party APIs that only Apple or Google have access to, that 3rd party apps can't use, regardless of whether the use would like to grant them perm

You could secure the parked car so that it doesn't move, and its crumple zone will still slow the deceleration.
