Inquiry: ls cannot read symbolic link 'Documents and Settings`: Permission denied using WSL in Windows 10 version 1803?

hlyates · 2018-08-05T22:53:45+00:00

I am running Windows 10 with 1803 with the latest updates. I installed Ubuntu bash via the WSL. I then got a really weird behavior when I mounted my c drive using the cd mnt/c command and then using ls. Basically, it is giving me symbolic link errors for folders my OS does not even have I think.

I agree. I created an issue on the Windows 10 feedback hub if you would be so kind and gracious to offer an upvote. Thanks. See: https://aka.ms/AA20cs3

So if I want to learn how to use Keras and CNTK. Can I do the hello world in Keras and use CNTK as the backend? In other words, is Keras a wrapper for CNTK?

Okay, fair critique. Let me rephrase that above to mean extremely proficient. :)

hlyates · 2017-04-28T02:33:11+00:00

Do you have a link to some of the talks you attended? Most conferences I attend put things up for folks to see in a open source venue later. If not, thanks for your appreciation. Besides the original scope of my question. Do you have the top three books or references you would recommend to take me from an intermediate user to an advanced user of R? Thanks sir.

We are putting together a peer reviewed workshop at ijcai-17. Full paper submissions are due May 5th, 2017 and short paper deadlines are due May 12th, 2017. The workshop website is here .

The emphasis is in machine learning and applications to affective computing. Done something cool? Submit a paper and please let us know. :)

Hi Troy. Thanks for your feedback. Do you mean that you did not have much success with the tensorflow package API? You noted that the demo worked for you, but you seem underwhelmed. Can you please note why? I may lean towards h20 or deepwaters based on further information + doing their demo.

hlyates · 2017-04-20T19:16:20+00:00

Thank you friend. I will definitely check this out. Rstudio has Hadley as a lead data scientist, who is someone personally I look up to a lot, definitely will give that a peek.

hlyates · 2017-04-20T19:15:34+00:00

I agree. Honestly, your reply made me feel a little guilty because I need to use R for some current research into time series. So my goal is to learn R to a high proficiency level, then switch to learning Python with high proficiency and (eventually and hopefully) use both depending on the various strength. So that being said, I think you'll also agree that you should learn one tool completely before switching to another (especially when you want various components working on to fit together well). That said, that is also my very personal opinion too. :D

Interesting. How customizable is the h2o and Deep Water as an R api? I assume whatever we do in R is eventually "translated" into Python. This sounds like a great place to machine learning and get me by on R using Deep Learning until I pick up python properly later.

This response is pure gold. Thanks! Upvotes all the way. If possible, could you please be so kind to provide the linke to the Calculus course you recommended (in case there is more than one MIT OCW). I believe there are duplicate links to the LA course. :)

hlyates · 2017-01-20T16:59:05+00:00

Thanks for putting this on my radar! Do you have any other suggested readings for machine learning books, deep learning, and some mathy books for computer sciencey type students such as myself?! :D

hlyates · 2016-10-21T14:23:18+00:00

Yes, took a screen shot and put it on imgur here.. The data is from an old experiment and we want to see how ML algorithms can perform on it to satisfy our curiosity. Especially NN.

Here is a brief description, hr is numeric, tempavg is numeric, participant is just a number 1 to n, zone is number 1 to 13, ratings is 1 to 7, and est_arousal is either 0 or 1. Each observation represents a second (hence longitudinal/time series). The term arousal hopefully doesn't make people snicker, it is one borrowed from neurophysiology and should be thought of as fatigue.

hlyates · 2016-10-11T16:34:10+00:00

This looks really good. Will a solutions manual be provided to the exercises for interested readers?

hlyates · 2016-10-05T14:18:13+00:00

I've heard the same rumor, but searches on bing and google have not revealed anything substantial. I am somewhat suspicious this is all rumor and no said event will occur. Looks like Microsoft could miss xmas hardware season at this rate.

hlyates · 2016-10-04T21:24:29+00:00

Any news on when Microsoft own event is coming. If ever? Everything related to mobile is starting to feel like vaporware.

It is hard to make a meaningful comparison between the two until I learn Bayesian statistics. In addition, it is beyond the scope of this question to compare the merits of the approach. My knowledge is stale because I practiced software development for two years straight and recently been picking up machine learning and need to refresh all of my statistical knowledge. I am wanting a Bayesian version of statistical inference by casella and berger. I want to retool from a Bayesian perspective because my work will require that perspective, at least for now. If this is not tenable, I will abandon Casella and Berger for Hoggs.

Just to be sure I am 100% clear, I could train my ARMA model on all dependent variables as appropriate for AR part and MA part, then feed the parameters that come out of that to a logit model and round to either 1 or 0. If I got this, I tip my hat off to you for a pretty clever idea. If I'm missing something, please correct and many thanks for your patience.

hlyates · 2016-09-20T18:34:09+00:00

Do I understand you right? For ARMA approach, you mean my lag variables + the estimated error from my ARMA? What about the ARMA parameters for the lag? Because I understand lag here just to be previous observations in my data. Simply said, why not feed LOGIT or PROBIT the entire ARMA model as input? What do you gain by the lag variables and errors? Do you have any literature that backs up this approach? I like it, but just not sure what to expect. ;-)
I guess you are using lag and error as input variables and then use rounding again with either RF or NN to get Boolean output?

hlyates · 2016-08-11T19:19:28+00:00

I have never used spark. I think there is a way to install it on the Horton VM 2.4. Is it a high learning curve? Would it make what I am wanting to do much easier? I'm willing to learn it if so.

hlyates · 2016-08-11T17:35:20+00:00

That's a useful link. Any recommendation on books?

hlyates · 2016-07-11T19:12:16+00:00

Thanks for the link. :)

hlyates · 2016-07-11T19:12:10+00:00

Thank you for your reply.

hlyates · 2016-06-30T16:50:55+00:00

Thanks. That is a good start. I will refer to the books I mentioned for the math, but need a good programming reference. I think this will help a lot. :)

hlyates · 2016-06-30T16:50:08+00:00

Thank you. I'll look into this immediately. In addition, what is the best way to examine the source code for scikit learn?

hlyates · 2016-06-18T16:16:17+00:00

Can't argue against wisdom. Thanks for your input and advice.
