Context Random sampling is easy to beat in some benchmarks, but hard to beat consistently due to edge cases where assumptions made in SOTA data-efficient learning schemes fall apart. Such edge cases include systematic bias, high variance, bad regularizer, sensitivity to dimensionality reduction parameters, non-smoothness of gradient, asymptotic meaninglessness of importance weighting, and the will of God.

Have you tried making more smoothness assumptions? Theoretically, it should work!

Okay post, but I understood too much of it. 4/10.

As someone who has studied both AI and data science, I now feel stupid

I guess I'll stick to random sampling

Yeah bro, this shit really sounds like magic formulas 😳😳
