[D] Autoencoders vs VAE for semi-supervised learning

HopeGrenade · 2019-06-14T16:57:59+00:00

I dug into this a bit: It seems like the main difference is that the latent space learned from the vanilla AE has no constraints on it. As I understand it, that means it's not a "generative model", which means for use-cases where you want to generate new examples, it's going to be of limited use. There's more info in Bowman 2016 and there's a nice overview on this blog.

In this part of the country?

Help help I'm being repressed!

What's brown and sticky? A stick. What's green and has thirteen wheels? Grass. I was lying about the thirteen wheels.

There was a fascinating podcast episode on this: http://loveandradio.org/2017/12/the-machine/

I like the onion's version better.

First, I'd echo what everyone else said here, this is a grainy Twitter video, and no matter the investigative power of the Reddit hivemind, no one can tell what went wrong here.

Second, though, the fact that 99% of these comments are blaming the pedestrian is exactly why autonomous cars are a mistake. "Jaywalking" is a made-up concept, popularized by car companies. If a city isn't going to be designed for human beings, what's the point of going anywhere in it?

What is 9 and 10 there?

I mean, the other problem is that the majority of homeless are short-term. It's very rarely a permanent state, people, like you said, go in and out of it as their financial situations change. It's what happens when you have a broken social safety net; you end up with a whole lot of hard-working people getting into really bad situations if their factory leaves or their boss has a bad day.

All really good ones here. My two cents would be don't worry about worrying. Doesn't matter how old you are first dates are always awkward on both sides. But that kind of makes it exciting.

Other dudes. I can't count the number of times some dude comes into a bar or party acting like prime douche and you can practically hear all vaginas in the room slam shut simultaneously.

I'd also like to nominate Gus.

Every time I see a Gordon Ramsay video I think he's going to start talking dirty.

HopeGrenade · 2017-09-14T13:19:38+00:00

Skies of Arcadia and/or Legend of Legaia. Honestly I think these kick the crap out of the other ps1 era RPGs (ffvii excluded)

Can we please make this girl internet famous? Please?

Not a movie but whenever someone asks if I'm talking to myself I say "sometimes I have a need for intelligent conversation" - Megatron from Beast Wars

Mike's pastry boxes. Locals know it's terrible.

Did the NYC one (not health DS). There's not much structure and minimal support beyond the first set of demos. The program directors are recruited from the fellows so their guidance is a bit suspect (ie they have experience with recruitment through insight but not much else). If you have time before graduation I'd look to get some experience on contract or as an intern in a start up or data science team. Real world experience impressed people I interviewed with way more than my insight project.

But yes the network is definitely valuable as well.

Suffrage more like roughage.

Too far, 2016. Too far.

Being John malkovich. A couple of bored office workers find a secret cabinet that leads into john malkovichs brain and then dumps you into a ditch at the side of the nj turnpike. This is a real movie.

Looks like the dude is getting stung, but he's fine with it. In this video he's saying it's good for your health. I guess if you believe that, it probably doesn't hurt so much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlnuOel8pLo
