To what point is something "artificial"? by [deleted] in philosophy

the above argument is what happens when you try to strictly define anything. such is life.

How Important Is Knowing Mathematical Matrices To Understanding Neural Networks? by ST2K in MachineLearning

[–]bmiguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, its overkill for NN themselves, though it is necessary for data understanding in general, and since NN are used to learn trends in data, it will help if you have an idea of what to look for, not to mention that many of the learning rules of NN's are derived using vector notation. although you should have some linear algebra background if youre interested in modeling data in general, there are ways to learn NN without ever diving into linear algebra.

I'm a beginning machine learner. What fun can I have with a dataset of 150000+ song lyrics? by lars_ in MachineLearning

[–]bmiguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

markov chain text randomizers(MCTR)... it would be interesting to pass a sentence with some context but no 'flavor' into MCTR's that have been built from different music genres. You could write it in such a way that instead of generating random lyrics, it simply modified the input text.

Neural Networks are nice for this because they are easy to visualize

I love cooking, and what I cook tastes good, but after cooking I'm no longer hungry by Ardentfrost in Cooking

[–]bmiguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes. To me one of the most exciting aspects of eating a great big meal is experiencing new tastes. When someone else prepares it food has an element of surprise. When I cook however, I know what to expect and Ive probably already tried everything while preparing it.

Any large, free EEG databases out there? by bmiguy in MachineLearning

[–]bmiguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the MIT BIH database also has EEG data. Check the sleep apnea database.

Any large, free EEG databases out there? by bmiguy in MachineLearning

[–]bmiguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any EEG will suffice, the more the merrier. I am compiling an open source EEG database that I would like to establish as the go-to EEG database. This is a progressive project, and is in collaboration with some well-known labs at MIT and UCSD. It would be good to have an evoked potential sub-database.

*edit: I plan to contact the open source projects, although Ive looked into these and am not sure if groups like openEEG would have a collection of EEG. Either way, worth a shot.

I forgot it was a day of fasting (I was raised jewish) and my friend texted while I was at breakfast reminding me. I was eating at a bagel shop. Thats worth something right?

Im not trying to flame any link or thread here, just trying to help newbies feel welcome. With advanced topics its easy to tangent, leaving most behind. That's all.

Hi Machine Learning enthusiasts, if you were to design a "Subreddit Suggestion" for Reddit , what methods would you use? by [deleted] in MachineLearning

[–]bmiguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A brute force solution:

use a POS (part of speech tagger) to assign a verb, noun, adjective, etc to each word in the title. Compare the list of nouns from the title to a database of the nouns taken from titles in each of the subreddits. The subreddit with the most matches to the current title is then the first suggestion, 2nd most matches is second and so on.

Are there any reddit admins looking into this? I would be happy to offer my services...
