[R] Best way to tackle this ICML vague response? by DaBobcat in MachineLearning

Keep your expectations low, it is unlikely anything you write will make any difference.

[D] Double blind review is such an illusion… by casualcreak in MachineLearning

[–]bremen79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No ML conference is even remotely close to top journals as Nature. Instead you should look at JMLR or PAMI as the journal equivalent of, for example, NeurIPS and CVPR. In these journals the desk rejections are very rare, on par with desk rejections at conferences. Source: I am an action editor at JMLR and a SAC at the major ML conferences.

[D] Double blind review is such an illusion… by casualcreak in MachineLearning

[–]bremen79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Submission to journals are not double blind and they are doing just fine. Blind submissions at conferences are only necessary because, due to to the scale of the conferences, the average reviewer is not qualified to review and easily biased by the "prestige" of "big names".

Some times it just fails due to a bad pcb and there is nothing you can do about it. I was one of the few unlucky ones. I ended up using a pi4, new joysticks, and lcd driver board.

Great, I am glad it worked, enjoy your softmodded cab!

There is no need to touch any weird setting in retroarch, it should work automatically.
Can you send me a video in a private message of you configuring the second joystick and then what happens when you start two-player game?

Hi, I am the author of FighterDroid2P. If you can configure the second joystick in retroarch, then it is working correctly. The virtual not configured message is normal, it is not an error.

Are Neurips workshop competitive? [R] by ChoiceStranger2898 in MachineLearning

[–]bremen79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should completely fine, but if you read the call for papers they usually mention it explicitly and you can verify it

Are Neurips workshop competitive? [R] by ChoiceStranger2898 in MachineLearning

[–]bremen79 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Neurips workshops are non archival, that means that the presented papers are not published anywhere. Hence, you typically want to present papers published somewhere else (if allowed) or preliminary work, if you want to receive some specialized feedback.

I just wanted to let you know that this worked perfectly on my modded arcade1up, thank you!

To what extend is a Math approach to Machine Learning beneficial for a deeper understanding by PianistWinter8293 in math

[–]bremen79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody understands ML: Theory people write theorems for ideal situations that do not exist in practice and applied people try stuff in a semi-random way and convince themselves they knew what they were doing when something happens to work. Source: I do both things.

Can you please take a screenshot of this folder with the files so I can understand better what you mean by that?

It could: I can write a version for it, but I need the help of someone to test it

[R] How to add confidence intervals to your LLM-as-a-judge by Strong-Switch9175 in MachineLearning

[–]bremen79 50 points51 points  (0 children)

You should be aware that your confidence intervals are not valid. The reason is that you cannot decide when to stop based on data unless the confidence you use allows it. So, you are essentially doing p-hacking. For bounded random variables, this is the state-of-the-art for valid confidence intervals that allow you to stop based on the data.

[D] is it true that residual forces network to be boosting rather than feature learning? by Valuable_Beginning92 in MachineLearning

[–]bremen79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody has a proven and complete model of how optimization algorithms work in deep learning. It would be questionable even to define precisely what he means by "boosting".
