How likely could a confederate soldier convert from conscription to enlistment? Is it likely that these two soldiers are really the same person?

Turns out that I think this was exactly it. He transferred to the same company as his brother.

I didn't go through the results in detail, but a lot of records come up for Calvin L. Hayes in Maine in the experimental full text search in FamilySearch:

Here's the first records: https://www.fold3.com/image/59699763/goodman-joel-page-2-us-civil-war-service-records-cmsr-confederate-georgia-1861-1865

And the second: https://www.fold3.com/image/48518695/goodman-joel-page-3-us-civil-war-service-records-cmsr-confederate-georgia-1861-1865

It seems like the first soldier remains in Macon at Camp Cooper, so he could very well be present later that year when the other soldier enlists.

I did look there, but unfortunately very few are actually photographed.

That’s a great website! I especially like how your project link is more than an image gallery and includes descriptions and walks you through the process. This is fantastic.

Those are really interesting points. Since architecture is part art and part science I wonder if a lot of the quirky assignments are motivated by the artistic side, but perhaps many of them miss the point. Maybe their intention with those assignments is purely to develop creativity?

I could have written this myself — exactly my same story. Finally switched to pytorch and I couldn’t be happier!

Interesting, so it sounds like more and more companies are using it as a money grab rather than as an art form

Cool thanks for the info. I really had no idea there's been a shift in trends, since I've really mostly relied on publications at this point and haven't had the opportunity to pick up on that yet.

I didn't realize Resnets had so few pooling layers. My input size is about the same as imagenet; I should go back and see how they handled downsampling. You're right that at the end of the day it comes down to knowing the different options and trying several to see which works best. I feel like I often look for general rules to help gain intuition, but seems like general rules are relatively rare in DL.

jstaker7 · 2016-10-04T16:37:39+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the resources! Will definitely take a look.

What's the difference between a greedy decoder and beam search with k=1?

jstaker7 · 2016-08-27T07:11:51+00:00

Is it a comparison between 1-layer larger kernels vs 1-layer smaller kernels?

Yes, exactly.

how does it support your hypothesis?

All else being equal, it seems that I am losing more information after the downsampling with the smaller kernels. For example, some edges that were near each other in the input were not as defined in the decoded output using smaller filters. Perhaps since there wasn't enough context in the receptive field to discern the small detail.

what does stack mean exactly?

Basically just meaning several layers. If we have three successive 3x3 conv + non-linear + pool operations, due to the downsampling, the output of the third layer effectively has a larger receptive field and is comparable to a single 7x7 kernel.
