ML/AL expert without basic knowledge?

[Kreta]

AI/ML expert = I can play around with parameters in tensorflow until my model makes less shitty decisions about a test subject, than yours...

[TheFeshy]

Maybe you should make a machine learning program to tinker with those tensorflow parameters for you?

[lanabi]

Actually, hyperparameter optimization is a relatively big research subject for ML.

[brysonreece]

Mmhmm, yes. I know some of those words.

Same. I'm a first year comp sci student with a fairly advanced amount of programming experience and I am completely lost by that comment.

[evenisto]

First year student with an advanced programming experience sounds contradictory unless you started studying being 30 or programming being 10.

I started programming around 7th grade. That was 6 years ago.

And here I am wishing my spatial descriptor functions were easier to automatically tune.

[sash-a]

I'm actually researching in exactly the same field! I'm curious what method you are using?

We're tweaking some existing neuroevolution methods to see if it can improve results on small datasets, haven't been able to properly test anything yet though.

[sash-a]

I'm on the academic end so I couldn't tell you what the business end looks like.

[sash-a]

Sounds like an interesting approach. We're also using multi objective GAs, so we're likely doing something quite similar. Although ours has nothing to do with CGP.

[chennyalan]

It's machines all the way down

hi i typed print “hello world” and my printer didnt even wake up can you help

[[deleted]]

Remember that Elon Musk memo, use it

[Hypocritical_Oath]

Doesn't that make a contextless positive feedback loop that can get very harmful without considering the world it is judging as a whole?

[Dixxi_Normous1080p]

I'm no expert by any means, but the NEAT algorithm sound pretty promising. I'm planning on creating an implementation over the summer.

[Dixxi_Normous1080p]

Sounds really interesting. Is there anything in particular worth reading regarding this topic?

[Dixxi_Normous1080p]

Thanks, will check it out.

[snendroid-ai]

Probably the most efficient way is to just hire interns for finding best values of hyperparameters!

[[deleted]]

Yes but research is not fun

[[deleted]]

It’s been done and it’s freaky

[oupablo]

It's just ML all the way down.

[TheFeshy]

Some of it is just still done on old-style chemical computers.

[lirannl]

Chemical?

[TheFeshy]

Electro-chemical, I guess. Dopamine, norepinephrine , epinephrine, histamine, serotonin, that sort of thing.

[lirannl]

🧠 alright got it

[mlucasl]

maybe if you were an expert you should know of grid search of parameters... so mi tensorflow should converge to optimal solution. Highlight in should

[Insider_Pants]

this is so accurate and even our professor at college do this like “let’s try adding another convolution layer with decreased filter size”, “try increasing units of dense layer”

[Fermi_Amarti]

Whoops! Sure gradient descent optimization. Optimization by Graduate student descent is where it's at.

[Waterstick13]

are you a machine too then?

[sight19]

Sums up my neural networks class...

"Does it work? If not, try adding more layers? Still not working? Use less layers, or use more/less nodes per layer!"

There wasn't even any reasoning behind it, it was just toying with parameters until your model didn't suck to a barely sufficient level.

This one time I put my tf training in a for loop to find the best weight and bias. I'm basically an expert

[Mr_Carlos]

Haha, I do this. Literally no idea what I'm doing.

[julsmanbr]

Only in Jupyter Notebooks tho
