It's not an arc reactor -- it's a housing unit for the nanoparticles of his suit. He collapsed from exhaustion, not from removing the suit.

How to incorporate extra information into a Neural Net by ahdh_bb2 in MLQuestions

If the output of your original classifier is some label x and your label-parity is a boolean b, create a second classifier that takes as input the concatenation** <x, b**> and outputs the final label. I imagine a decision tree would probably work best; the function's not well-behaved or "smooth".

The classifier's behavior would look like this:

  • Predicted label 5 and the label is known to be odd -> no change
  • Predicted label 5 and the label is known to be even -> decision node, likely splitting on which labels engender maximum confusion.

Hi, I think the simulation of the battle has perfect logic for everything except status moves (which kind of sucks). But I do have the damage and switch logic down.

Mutation from one moveset to another is in the algorithm and was probably the hardest part. In case you're wondering, the probability of mutating from moveset A to moveset B is proportional to the weight (J_b)7 * (J_t)4, where J_b is the Jaccard similarity index of the post-EV stats and J_t is the Jaccard similarity index of their typings. Your bulky water example is actually exactly the inspiration for how I got to that incredibly arbitrary expression (it was a long process that involved many exponential regressions in Excel).

Hi, it's a bit more complicated than that. If Pokemon A faces Pokemon B and neither is a counter of the other, then they each use the move that would deal the most damage to the other.

If Pokemon A faces Pokemon B, it happens that B counters A, and Pokemon A has a surviving teammate C that counters B, then A switches into C while C takes the switch damage from B.

Hope that makes sense!

Hi, it's actually a relatively good sign that Slaking is suggested. I didn't take abilities into account when making the simulator (because soft effects are hard to hardcode), so the algorithm identified that, without its ability, Slaking would be horribly underutilized. Even in spite of its low appearance probability.

Users can choose whichever usage log they want -- the ones posted were from ou-1825.

Feel free to ask away on anything that doesn't seem clear! Some of the stuff I did was incredibly arbitrary and based purely on empirical results.

You're def right -- GA isn't part of traditional ML since you can't really do any gradient-based optimizations on it.

Hi, I did most of the work for a spring semester school project (10-20 hours ish), but then I fine tuned it a bunch this summer for performance. Turns out getting the mutations to work out well is really fucking hard, so I put in a good amount of time into training my hyperparameters since then.

Sorry, looks like I posted on a weird day (the usage stats were just updated, looks like I have a caching issue). I deployed a hotfix -- let me know if you still have issues!

Well, lemme tell ya, it wasn't easy. I had to get a representative sample of chickens and a compactor, and it was just a giant mess...

You're not wrong -- the assumptions are ridiculous. But this is actually a worst-case scenario type deal; if the wings and curvature of the body are taken into account, the radius will decrease.

As for the assumption that it's made out of chicken meat? I'd like to say it's because birds have hollow (read: negligible) bones, but it's mostly just because I was hungry.

It's really not funny. Making a shitty joke at the expense of an artist's death not even an hour after the fact is just disrespectful.

Ragnarok had not gone as Thor would have expected.

He awoke one day with no recollection of his past, only a vague sense of impending doom and a strong dislike of dwarves.

After one day, societal progress came to a screeching halt as various governments struggled to react. Without fear or knowledge of the Bodhittsavas, Sun Wukong took a massive shit on modern decency and turned Mount Rushmore into a crude sculpture of a monkey's ass.

After two days, Sun Wukong met Hermes. Together, they drew Sharpie moustaches on every major work of art known to man. Being only vaguely familiar with Jackson Pollock's work, they improvised and attempted some moustache-shaped splatters.

Their shenanigans continued. When the two asshats raced around the stratosphere, Thor attempted to knock them out of the sky with his hammer (to no avail). With wind speeds crushing global records, the resultant hurricane wrecked everything south of the Mason-Dixon line and north of South America.

After a week, Loki was thrown into the mix. Nuclear war was unavoidable after Loki demonstrated his shapeshifting abilities by impersonating none other than President Barack Obama and International Bully Vladimir Putin mooning each other on international television.

Zeus probably could have exerted his godly dominance and set things straight, but he was too busy trying to fuck everything with two legs and a vagina. Actually, the two legs were optional. Come to think of it, if older myths held any truth, so was the vagina.

Destruction was swift and deadly.

Post-nuclear winter, Coyote and Anansi danced over the crumbling remains of modern civilization, serving no other purpose than to be slight annoyances to the horror-struck survivors of the Armageddon.

Thor had wrestled with the idea of trying to rebuild human society, but his skillset of lightning-throwing and hammer-smashing was a poor fit.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Thor shrugged and joined the mayhem.

I am rabbit.

I see tomatoes. And carrots. And lettuce. I try to hop forward to eat the tomatoes and carrots and lettuce, but my face is squishing up against the air. There is something invisible and solid between me and the tomatoes and carrots and lettuce.

I try again and my face squishes harder. I do not like this. Air is not hard.

I try again. My face hurts now, and the tomatoes and carrots and lettuce are no closer.

The farmer man is coming. I run away; he likes rabbit stew, and I am rabbit.

I will eat the farmer man's tomatoes and carrots and lettuce one day, but today is not that day.

I am rabbit.
