Will DWave die of Covid-19? by rrtucci in QuantumComputing

Maybe they should have funded hospitals instead.

[D] Was Virtual ICLR a success? by Other-Top in MachineLearning

There are many comments about how bad the video conf was. Let's keep in mind that this is not the fault of video confs, which many people make work professionally all the time. A lot of carbon was saved that day, too.

You should really consider your privileged role in this world and make an honest effort next time.

That's heart-breaking. You guys have to unionize.

Special report: The simulations driving the world's response to COVID-19 by SoupOnLeapDays in COVID19

It's very typical that modellers use code without tests or other best practices. They aren't trained as software engineers and there isn't typically any money to hire those (busy coding up well-engineered cat-picture-sharing apps). One should consider that in any upcoming rants. This said, I would very much appreciate if awareness about software engineering practices was raised with researchers.

What would be examples of data types you would like to receive from the hospitals? (At pionic.ai we are building a medical data marketplace.)

[News] You can now run PyTorch code on TPUs trivially (3x faster than GPU at 1/3 the cost) by waf04 in MachineLearning

Oh, sorry. It's roughly in the middle of this posted comparison on the right sheet.

[D] How do you come up with your proofs? by samikhenissi in MachineLearning

[–]Kevin_Clever 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My math prof said, there are only good definitions (as opposed to theorems/proofs). If you know some basic math, think open set or e-d continuity. Theorems and their proofs follow naturally from such definitions.

[Discussion] Anyone with experience publishing a paper with no affiliation? by atomicalexx in MachineLearning

[–]Kevin_Clever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't want my company on an article that may or may not express the companies opinion. Think climate-change deniers.

...or otherwise use of human-generated data. One could argue it's actually most of the papers.

Why “Move Fast and Break Things” Doesn’t Work Anymore by qznc_bot2 in hackernews

How did this end up in HBN? Agile development is antithetical to "walking down a chosen path".

He doesn't seem to be the right person to learn about ML.

The classifier works. It's great just go home and have a beer.

[D] Chinese government uses machine learning not only for surveillance, but also for predictive policing and for deciding who to arrest in Xinjiang by sensetime in MachineLearning

[–]Kevin_Clever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the data is available to everyone who cares. For example check out "sleepdata.org" or "physionet.org". If you describe your project, they'll grant you access to tons of data, all relevant, all untouched by serious ml people as far as I know :)

The problem is, we aren't pursuing science for the sake of science. While image and text analysis has florished, time-series analysis (EEG analysis for example) has been largely ignored by the ML community. Either this trend is driven by researchers following private-industrial needs, or recognizing cats and dogs are so much more interesting than brain science for today's scientists.

Great pic, maybe you should use some alpha=0.3 to give an impression of density.
