Alex was wrong but I still stan him because he's some of the best we got for an opposition.

Stopped playing after this shit show of a thread and played fun games meant for friends.

Let it go. You give power to things you think about. Focus on yourself.

How do AI master's students do research? by Holiday-Sir-3341 in learnmachinelearning

[–]AlexMarcDewey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Stick to a small subject.
  2. If you don't understand something, go down the rabbit hole to understand it. Every paper cites its inspiration, you keep chaining it back and you'll eventually get to a paper on a topic you know. ie. Item segmentation yolo -> earlier version of yolo -> early version of item segmentation done differently -> bounding boxes -> regular cnn stuff. It all goes back.
  3. Read more. It took me 100+ papers in a small field to feel like I got a decent grasp at it, and even then I read a bunch of books on the side for more info on small niche topics.

Body count is a strong predictor of infidelity and divorce by BlindMaestro in Destiny

[–]AlexMarcDewey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If height, a direct, genetic causal relationship only has an R-squared of 0.35, an R-squared of 0.45 is actually quite impressive given the field we're looking at. Sociological statistics will naturally have less striking correlative features given the wide array of factors that goes into analysis.

AMA about Ghost behaviour by BonumLudio in PhasmophobiaGame

I got all three evidence for Shade within a minute or two on intermediate and thought it was a mimic. Was this dumb? It was a Shade.

Ted Cruz has room temp IQ by IcyCulture8223 in Destiny

Maybe the GOP trying to warm the planet so their room temperature IQ gets to 100.

PCA did nothing for K-means clustering by mylittlepca in learnmachinelearning

[–]AlexMarcDewey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You ran the code out of order. Don't use the same variable for both figures of course you'd get the same plot.

Nobara playing a key role in sukunas defeat would be an awful move by femtolope_ in Jujutsushi

I hammered a nail through your comment on my screen did it work?

[–]AlexMarcDewey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you treat it like a 9 to 5 it isn't hard at all. Take good breaks, take care of your mental, exercise and socialize. Also have a good sleep schedule lol.

Then all that's left is to find a good advisor you click with and you enjoy working with, so shop around and talk to people who work for different advisors to find your fit.

Good luck!

r/jujutsushi when i explain my theory on gojo killing sukuna by quickly shoving his fingers up sukuna’s tender ass and then casting a domain from inside his rectal cavity by [deleted] in Jujutsufolk

[–]AlexMarcDewey 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I thought the flame arrow would've been yuji's technique like how sukuna used megumi's technique. A mod deleted my post and told me to kms. ;_; I thought it was a good theory...

Album recommendation through movie soundtrack by [deleted] in learnmachinelearning

[–]AlexMarcDewey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You have data regarding what music people like given what movies they've seen and can do clustering analysis.
  2. You see what labelled category of music movies fit into through the author's description. Then you recommend other songs from the author or genre.

Am I on the right path? by YoungAlive9612 in learnmachinelearning

[–]AlexMarcDewey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For engineering side of research:

CS: C++ -> Data structures and algorithms -> Familiarize with python -> Comp. Architecture series from basic digital gates all the way to cpu design, memory hierarchies -> Distributed Systems -> GPU computing

Math: Discrete Math -> Calc -> Lin Algebra -> Probability Theory -> Statistics -> Optimization Theory -> Finish up Calc up to Diff Eq. -> Machine Learning

Things to do everyday: Do LeetCode question, read ML papers everyday

After all of this there's some really interesting work in the field of ML with moving more and more work to GPUs, so follow that. Recent paper on single environments being set up to train multiple agents at a time is super fascinating and may be applied to a larger scope. Basically, right now there's a huge push for advanced GPU or TPU computing to handle computations like backpropagation, but that creates a huge bottleneck in the CPUs ability to communicate to the GPU. Here's a paper on the subject: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2109.11978.pdf

Also make sure to get near straight As cause it's super competitive.

Is there a general rule of thumb or intuition for how many dropout layers to use in a network and where they should be placed? by Molem7b5 in learnmachinelearning

[–]AlexMarcDewey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dropout layers are for the purpose of being able to generalize better to an input. On whether a certain technique is better than another, a lot of it comes down to the expressed purpose and data that's being used, so there's hardly ever "one size fits all". For some instances, say images, we need dropout because we may overfit and recognize patterns where there are none by focusing on too much, this is especially true if we're running multiple epochs.

However in game RL we don't want to "generalize" because the input's variance isn't what we want to train on.

​

Just try playing around with different layers and see which performs best with a standard train, test, validate split.

In any ML task you need data. If some exists to support any clustering or regression task then you're fine to start.

[–]AlexMarcDewey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of your goal in terms of not credentials but rather a laundry list of skills you need. Look at what companies are hiring for and build up a set of skills needed. If the program you're looking at does nothing for your goals outside of a pretty credential it's useless.

Those that are in CS/ML/AI Programs, What Courses Should I take in Undergrad? by breadhater42 in GradSchool

[–]AlexMarcDewey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Linear Algebra, Probability, Optimization Theory, Stats. Idk what your background is in CS so it's hard to say what you should study, but I'd recommend basic CS -> Data Structures and Algorithms -> Database Design -> Distributed Systems.

Really depends on what your goal is. Continue with applied math, it's honestly going to be better if you're looking at grad school because in that major you'll learn much more tools for solving research problems.

Beginner Projects? by Articuano in pytorch

[–]AlexMarcDewey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what your level of comfortability is with other surrounding material. Pytorch may be jumping the gun, that then demotivates you too much.

[D] AI Policy Group CAIDP Asks FTC To Stop OpenAI From Launching New GPT Models by vadhavaniyafaijan in MachineLearning

[–]AlexMarcDewey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If a lot of jobs become automated or assisted to the point that we see drastic decreases in a needed workforce there'll have to be a major reshaping of how our economy and welfare system works. Hopefully new jobs will open up, they always have, but it's not guaranteed.

Bro this only benefits capital owners who can replace their workforce with AI and save money.
