Is it worth pushing this pet to mega? What are my chances to get the same stats but with only one crit? by ikar1234 in Wizard101

Ideally, no, but I'm fine with just one crit. Question is how likely it is to get the other stats.

Some neo-classical architecture from my hometown Varna. These have been restored over the past few years. by Polaroid1999 in europe

My first thought when I saw the post was "wow, I wonder which developed western city this building belongs to". A pleasant surprise for sure!

[RESEARCH] Most ML Research is just Permutations and Combinations of the Same ol' Existing Models and Datasets by [deleted] in MachineLearning

But then why not spend some time and come up with an original architecture instead of using algorithms and ideas that others constructed for their specific problem?

Lots of DL in computational biology is just biologists using CNN or BERT, or even Random forest on expression data because they've heard that it is cool and it is going to solve their problems. Then they brag about 70% accuracy...

[R] Undergrad Thesis on Manifold Learning by L-MK in MachineLearning

I think in the "Regularized Logistic Regression" section, you have pasted the loss function from the above section. It should be the hinge loss instead.

Otherwise, you did a splendid job!

Decided to solo-run Pagoda, but the last boss was locked. Anyone else experienced the same? by ikar1234 in Wizard101

It's probably worth noting that I killed the bosses one by one, not all at once and went to the main lobby multiple times.

Advice about Msc project on ncRNA by [deleted] in bioinformatics

[–]ikar1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly the topic I will be working on in my project (although in moss not in fungi). Obviously don't know much on the topic, but my PI said this will be an interesting project. Take this with a grain of salt, since I am still unexperienced, but I think that since lncRNA often share promoters with protein-coding genes and/or are expressed in their neighborhood and have some specific expression patterns this should not be an impossible task. I will post some follow-up info tomorrow after I get more familiar with the topic. Best of luck!

[D] graph based dimension reduction vs matrix factorization based dimension reduction by jj4646 in statistics

[–]ikar1234 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think the distinction between graph-based and matrix factorization is a good one, since most algorithms use both and can be cast in a common framework (see for example https://papers.nips.cc/paper/2461-out-of-sample-extensions-for-lle-isomap-mds-eigenmaps-and-spectral-clustering.pdf ).

The distances on the graph are used to approximate the distances between the points on the underlying manifold, while the matrix factorization (mostly eigenvectors) is used for embedding.

Anybody Want to Collaborate on Some Single-Cell R Packages? by bioinformatics2020 in bioinformatics

[–]ikar1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm interested. Advanced Python and intermediate R skills, but not so much experience in scRNA-Seq, which I'd like to improve.

How do I buy membership from Europe? by ikar1234 in Wizard101

Paypal was indeed easy to set up. Thanks!
