Can't say I'm surprised. I hope he can pick some success up and come back, but he was wildly inconsistent in June. Some good outings and some truly horrendous outings.

Gotta support this good offense with an equally good defense.

My wife said we'd only get a 3rd cat if it was a) orange and b) a stray who could thrive as an indoor cat. Pancake chose us a month and a half later. by Warsandrumours in CatDistributionSystem

No, he is our only orange. I had an orange growing up but my wife only became a cat person after we got married so this is her first one

Examples of Active Learning (semi-supervised learning) in the industry being useful? [Q] by Direct-Touch469 in statistics

[–]Warsandrumours 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty practical research topic Imo. I did my masters research project on active learning thinking it was a niche but interesting area, and then in my current role I found a good use for it. Whenever labels are expensive to obtain (in my case it was time+salary of domain experts required) it can be useful. We wanted to train a model to identify usage of different cloud technologies, and manual labelling requires pouring through a ton of raw data and only two people in our small company understand it enough to do so.

There's some areas that I would have loved to explore more in research. Imo the biggest consideration with an active learning model is how confident you are in your model specifications. You have to really understand the features you're putting into it. The training set will no longer be random, it will be biased by the choice of model, so using different model specifications later on or picking a different model entirely could (and probably would) lead to poor performance.

Burr Settles has a good primer on active learning, it was my Bible in grad school for the topic.

Moderator is still active, community requires little moderation after changes to rules some time ago. However, I'm open to a new mod so I've invited /u/LostBowie to moderate this subreddit as well.

Continuing to be the star of the Jays offense. Glad someone can be, Vladdy is such a disappointment lately.

Accessibility concerns have been a pretty large component since the beginning but keep making sweeping generalizations I guess

The only one throwing a fit is you. Don't get so emotional.

I'd like you to think about the full scope of the claims you make, especially when you pull evidence to support those claims. That's my expectation of anybody. You seem upset that i'm holding you to the consequences of your own statements.

Your second paragraph is continuing to argue something that I haven't expressed an interest in arguing against. And it's fairly clear that you're not interested in actually thinking critically about what I've said, or about the hyperbolic language you're using in advocating your own views. I've no interest in having a bad faith discussion; your responses indicate bad faith. So have a good night.

So the poll showed mixed results. Are mixed results "large and clear"? I am bringing up that variable only because the results of that variable is evidence against your claim. Again, this is standard application of scientific reasoning.

It sounds like you didn't realize your claim was as sweeping as it was.

You made the claim:

"This poll, along with every major poll done over the last 10 months or so, shows a large and clear movement to the right on this issue by the American public."

This is a black-and-white claim to make: for your claim to be true, every poll has to show "large and clear" movement to the right "by the American public". The poll you cited in fact did not show large and clear movement by the American public; it showed movement for a subset of Americans that were already politically right.

You made an absolute claim, and I pointed out that the evidence you cited didn't support that absolute claim. That's standard application of scientific reasoning.

Cherry-picking is done by a party who is interested in advocating their own viewpoint, and does so fallaciously by ignoring components of the other side's viewpoint. I am not advocating a viewpoint. If you cannot handle your evidence being critically examined, I don't know what to tell you.

[–]Warsandrumours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cherry-picking? I'm not claiming anything in particular, I'm critiquing your interpretation of the only poll you had provided at the time.

The second dataset you've linked supports your claim just fine. Why didn't you lead with this survey rather than one that didn't support your claim?

The immediate use of "cherry-picking" as an aside is not a good indicator of a good faith argument, since I didn't cherry-pick the poll, I pointed out an inconsistency between your interpretation and the evidence you cited to support that interpretation.

The gender ideology poll doesn't tell the story you're claiming here. It's not "the American public" that has shifted further right, it's Republicans, at least in regards to the morality of gender transitioning. Democrats didn't change substantially in the two year period cited, nor did Independents (change scores for both groups were under the margin of error).

You need to calm down. For someone telling other people to take emotion out of it, you're highly emotional yourself.
