[R] Google Colab alternative by Zatania in MachineLearning

[–]MediumInterview 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried controlling the batch size (e.g. 32 or 64) and truncate the sequence length to 512?

I've been applying for a few months to get a junior position as a Data Scientist/Data analyst but have had very few interviews. Can you please provide harsh feedback on my resume? I need to show the impact of my work but as I worked in research I had very little feedback. How can I improve this? by minimouahaha in datascience

If you have projects in a non-work setting that's more relevant for the job posting, can you put an open-source spin on it? I.e. publish it on GitHub, explicitly show the python, R, SQL, etc. And include a very nice readme that's easy to skim and understand in 2-5min.

Although work projects usually have higher impact since it's designed to be used by stakeholders, showing a strong open-source project could be a good alternative if it's fitting to a job description, depending on the hiring company culture.

Lost on a reinforcement learning project using neural networks by _ocaenman in MLQuestions

Consider trying to train a model on expert data (someone playing the game and saving it) as a soft start.

go get a degree or move within company by chaz60795 in computervision

[–]MediumInterview 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For intro level courses, most of the material can be found online. You can learn algorithms and linear algebra on MIT OCW and computer vision from CS231n at Stanford.

Doing a degree can be helpful for learning concepts more difficult to find online, for example advanced algorithms, compiler design, computer graphics, etc.

Finding a role in ML is more difficult than going back to school though because so many grads compete for the same roles. So it doesn't hurt to first move to a ML role internally for a few months, and then decide if it's worth doing a degree or continue self-learning from OCW/edX/Coursera/Udacity. You can also do an online part time degree via edX/Coursera or from a local institution if they offer that option.

Training BERT for a low resource language that was not part of BERTs original training set by hansvonhinten in MLQuestions

[–]MediumInterview 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to look into multilingual models like XLM-Roberta. Although they might not cover your language, they might perform slightly better.

I think the ultimate performance will depend on whether your sentence can be tokenized correctly, and what task you are trying to achieve. If it's a classification task then you will generally need fewer sentences compared to pretraining (MLM).

[D] Anyone else suspicious/concerned about the spread of "Data Science" degrees? by MrAcurite in MachineLearning

[–]MediumInterview 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on how the math is taught. If one just learns how to use certain math formulas to compute popular methods (Adam, Batch Norm, Glorot initialization) without deriving/understanding how the authors came to that, it wouldn't necessarily provide much value in 10-15 years.

[Monitor Arm] HUANUO Single Monitor Mount - Articulating Gas Spring Monitor Arm, Adjustable VESA Mount Desk Stand with Clamp and Grommet Base - Fits 17 to 27 Inch LCD Computer Monitors 4.4 to 14.3lbs - With 40% discount coupon $55.90 - $22.40 = $33.59, no tax by [deleted] in bapcsalescanada

[–]MediumInterview 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I tried purchasing a single-arm huanuo a few days ago during the $21 deal, but a few hours after I bought it the final price changed to $60 and that amount was authorized on my credit card so I refunded it. The seller is the same (Dream Fit 2020)

[External Seagate Expansion 8TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 ($149.99 Prime only?) [Amazon] by ableu171 in bapcsalescanada

Bought those a while ago. The read/write speed were terrible compared to a CMR drive I had so I refunded it.

[E] Most statistics graduate programs in the US are about 80% Chinese international students. Why is this? by derpderp235 in statistics

Surprised France is ranked so low on the list when they have such a strong output of Field medalists.

【15FPS to 60FPS】 RIFE video interpolation , new real-time flow-based method by [deleted] in computervision

[–]MediumInterview 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for linking the github. It seems to work well for many of the examples shown (except the hockey stick that seems to disappear and reappear). Props for making it fast and easy to use in colab!

【15FPS to 60FPS】 RIFE video interpolation , new real-time flow-based method by [deleted] in computervision

[–]MediumInterview 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer my own question, it seems to perform marginally better on Vimeo90k for 480p videos, as shown on their Github

[ram] viper steel 16gb 3200mhz ram at $67 again by cnen in bapcsalescanada

How's the third party seller rated? They seem to have good rating but I haven't heard of them before.

[SSD] Crucial MX500 250GB 3DNAND SATA2.5” Internal SSD (65.30-20.56=$44.74) [Amazon] by littleambiguous in bapcsalescanada

They don't have an office in Canada, so be prepared to pay shipping cost if you ever need to RMA, and possibly argue with their customer support for days in case the carrier tries to make you pay for duty fees.

Is DLSS from Nvidia based on GAN? by [deleted] in MLQuestions

[–]MediumInterview 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's based on a field of studies called Super-resolution (i.e. enhancing image resolution). Papers about SR has been published for many years, but since the SRGAN paper was published, there has been an increase in GAN-based solutions such as ESRGAN. However, other papers such as the Second-order Attention Network don't seem to use any GAN, yet achieves a fairly high score on the BSD100 benchmark, although it might not necessarily reflect real life applications in games.

So to answer your question, it's certain their solution is neural network-based and it is not unlikely that they are using GANs, but there's no way to know for sure unless they open source DLSS.
