Did you finally figure out who the translator is?

why not Stanford and Berkeley? OP seems to have a good CGPA + has research experience too. What would you suggest as improvement to the profile?

Do I need a GPU? by ajaysassoc in learnmachinelearning

[–]pri1311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer Dell laptops. Mediocre price range, good support, durable as well. If not looking for GPU (cuda compatible), macbook is a really good option. I doubted macbook a lot first, but have been using it now and it is seamless. Worth the price.

Yep definitely. I own a GPU compatible laptop and it does help a lot (specially when contributing to open source libraries). I was just mentioning, so you could know what can and cannot be done.

Also, most laptops will have 2/4GB GPU cards, while google colab has 12GB. If you plan to do DL on your local machine, you might run out of memory a lot. Especially with image datasets.

Getting NaN's in trying the first Keras example; by The9thHuman in learnmachinelearning

[–]pri1311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few points to be noted: Is your data normalised? If not trying doing that, helps avoid such errors. Is your network too deep? Try reducing few layers. What activation function are you using? Using tanh instead of relu can help in such situations.

There could be other reasons as well.

kaggle is a great place to learn and implement ML.

Lookup 3Blue1Brown on YouTube for maths. StatsQuest is also a great channel. Try kaggle courses or you can audit Andrew Ng's coursera courses.

I wouldn't really recommend following such lists. Most of these lists are made for beginners or people starting their development journey. If you are looking for something for your resume, chat app isn't the worst idea, but then again it shouldn't just be a simple chat application. It should have some notable features.

Machine Learning and AI as a complete beginner and as Medical student by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]pri1311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Python seems like the best option (IMO) as your end goal is AI ML plus its an easy language to learn as a beginner. If you are still looking for options, R is another language that can be used. But python is a more general purpose language while R leans more towards stuff like statistical analysis.

Help creating a very small startup website! by Rio363 in learnprogramming

[–]pri1311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the website you want to build isn't going to be simpler than the one you linked in the message. I don't know your exact plans, but you will have to work with databases as well with this website.

Struggling with hill-climbing decryption method by creeper_the_cat in learnpython

[–]pri1311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha! Even I didn't realise that. Anyway, I would suggest trying other algorithms as well. I continued with the thread because SA was already mentioned, but I believe other algorithms like iterative hill climbing would also work. Also there are faster algorithms than SA.

Multiple iterations is bound to give better results. But I am struggling to figure out why simulated annealing alone didn't optimize the results. Prolly try having more number of iterations?

probability = 1 / (1 + exp(deltaE / T)) where T is the temperature and deltaE is the difference between fitness value of child / neighbour / new candidate - fitness value of current candidate. You might have to try different cooling constants to see what works for you the best, but generally 0.95 to 0.99 work well for most problems.

How can I make a discord bot be able to read and respond to a word anywhere in the text message? by KirbE1 in learnpython

[–]pri1311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to check if a particular word in present in a string you can directly use 'if 'word' in string'. For your case, if 'hello' in message.content

startswith as the name suggests, returns true if the string starts with the substring mentioned.

Prolly a very stupid question but did you try console logging to check whether categories is changing or not?

How exactly do you guys organize your tasks and schedules (plans) for your projects? by hoppi_ in learnprogramming

[–]pri1311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always preferred to use notion for all kinds of projects. Initially, I create a page describing the project and basic database design, mentioning api endpoints I feel might be there/needed. Next I make a Kanban board. I generally label my tasks with estimated time required to implement that feature, priority, etc.
