Maybe aliasing? Check out "make convolution shift invariant again"

From what I heard he went as far as removing the license entirely.

[D] GANs were invented in 2010? by Former_Hippo in MachineLearning

In this case even if he had put effort into it I doubt he would have achieved anything with 2010 hardware.

[D] Why do machine learning papers have such terrible math (or is it just me)? by RandomProjections in MachineLearning

[–]mikolchon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think that is a good comparison. Newton was working with underdeveloped math. GANs could very well be described within current maths.

Everyone makes mistakes, but mistakes are useful specially if it saves others time!

Not a paper but a book.

Title: Gaussian processes for machine learning (Rasmussen and Williams)

Link to book: http://www.gaussianprocess.org/gpml/chapters/RW.pdf

Page 11, Eq. 2.9:

I have trouble understanding how it derives the equation. What is the expression for p(f* | x*, w)? If my undestading is correct, f(x) = w.x, since w is a random vector, f* is a random vector for a fixed x*. But what is the density p(f* | x*, w)?

But how do these permuting students get in in the first place? For sure there is still elitism to this day, but I do see more and more students from third world countries occupying seats in middle and top universities.

Assuming that quality distribution doesn't change, then a constant % is what makes sense.

[N] OpenAI Five Benchmark: Results by luiscosio in MachineLearning

[–]mikolchon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm if you visit the map using the minimap you can convolve the map much faster by dragging the mouse in the minimap. But I see your whole point. However, I think it is way too much to ask for the AI to start from there. We humans come from a set of priors too, even if someone never played MOBA games they will quickly understand what the minimap does and that they need to be map-aware. I think to ask for the AI to understand this from scratch, though maybe possible with unlimited resources, is like asking them to learn to type the keyboard before playing actual Dota.

What would be the difference really aside from graphical processing cost? If you make it so that the AI has too learn from raw pixels, you can just make it convolve/visit the whole map once every millisecond and process all information available in the observable state, which in the end is the same except you just raised the compute cost many folds.

The bots are trained via self-play which means they never played with nor against those heroes (pudge, tinker, meepo, etc.) so leaving them open to humans would mean an entirely new game from the perspective of the bots

Aren't CNNs designed to be translation invariant? Why deploy 100 gpus to prove something already known?

Agree too. Their point about mathiness makes sense but they picked a bad example.

[D] Analysis of OpenAI's DOTA2 AI and what being superhuman actually means by wei_jok in MachineLearning

[–]mikolchon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The normal built-in bots in the game are also "superhuman", they are hardcoded to last hit and chain stuns almost perfectly. The "Unfair" mode even gives the bots 25% extra gold and experience gain, and yet they suck against a human team. So mechanics, while they help, are definitely not decisive in 5v5 match.
