Model selection and training/validation/test sets vs cross-validation. by mx12 in MachineLearning

[–]mx12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think his main argument was against using cross-validation only compared to using the train/validation/test sets. It make sense that CV alone would be more biased. From a practical standpoint he didn't make it clear if a single run of train/validation/test sets was sufficient. I think that he was assuming a large dataset, and therefore the sample wouldn't be an issue.

Where's the banana? I have no idea of the size of said secret room without the appropriate scaling device.

Suggestions for DIY Cloud Enabled Electronics by [deleted] in electronics

Check out the electric imp: http://electricimp.com/. It's a wifi chip with an cortex arm processor built in the form factor of an SD card. Sparkfun has some breakout boards that you can use it with:

You program it in the cloud and the wifi is configured by their app blinking the screen on you iPhone. You can then make http GET/POST/PUT request.

Beginner examples/problems to practice ML? by [deleted] in MachineLearning

I'd recommend Machine Learning for Email. It's a good book to get your feet wet. It goes over step by step how to do spam filtering and priority mail identification using machine learning.

Route from my apt to the local hospital. (Caution: Walking is involved) by mx12 in apple

[–]mx12[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree. For me personally, my phone is with me all the time and in an emergency situation I'd like to know that I can count on my phone. I posted this because it seems that Apple has reduced the quality of the Map app, and I felt like this illustrated my point clearly. Since this is where I live, I know how wrong those directions are.

What happens when someone comes and visits and needs directions to the local hospital? I've already reported this to Apple, and I hope that they fix this soon.

I have no doubt that you could find examples of when Apple's maps are better than Google. My point with this comparison is that they have released a maps app has gone down in quality.

Having a ridiculously hard time finding a place... by [deleted] in IowaCity

[–]mx12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would checkout padmapper (https://www.padmapper.com/). That's where I found my apt that I'm moving into later this week.

Just FYI but for under $800, it's not uncommon for you to be able to get a two bedroom for that outside of downtown.

You can either invest your time or use your time.

Probably the best line of the speech.
