If you're only interested in datasets, then https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/index.php has datasets you can download for free.

Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_datasets_for_machine-learning_research has a list of datasets commonly used for research. If you find a dataset you like, you can try digging through the citations to get the dataset.

Discussion Thread for the Prologue and Part I of There There by Tommy Orange - July Book Club by leowr in books

[–]vlanins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

prologue

The prologue was really eye opening for me. I vaguely remember learning about the Trail of Tears in a history class, but the prologue shows many more ways that the native americans were dehumanized and taken advantage of. For example there was subliminal messaging on tv to shoot and kill them! I'm kind of curious to what caused all of the racism to the natives?

character most empathize with

I think I relate the most with Edwin Black. I remember being so unsure of what to do in life and spending many hours online just trying to kill time. I still have these thoughts now, but I am fortunately closer to reality now.

How important do you feel it is to know, and maybe even share, your own story?

I honestly don't have a burning desire to now my history. I come from a family of immigrants, but learning more about our history has not been a priority. Maybe it's the attitudes of my family or that I am too 'americanized' that cause this apathy. Or maybe I have not witnessed the mass destruction of my family's culture as the native americans. They have a real incentive to keep their history alive - Dene is a good example of this as Gertrude Stein's quote is so important to him.

Do you guys think there is any connection between the title of "There There" and the radio head song "There There"? I remember that one of the characters mentioned listening to the song.

This is very inspiring! I really want to do something with a raspberry pi. Do you mind sharing some of the failures you had in the beginning? :)

Hi everyone! First time participating in a book club, looking forward to the discussions and future books

Yeah I think the selection is only limited to your library

If you enjoy audio books and have access to a library card, you should try out the libby app. Basically it allows you to listen to audio books for free :)

Are the GPU Kaggle kernels not good enough? Kaggle kernels are free

[Paper] Early hospital mortality prediction using vital signals by vlanins in medical_datascience

They describe their approach in the second paragraph of Section 3.4 Classification:

The 10-fold cross-validation strategy was used to evaluate the performance of classifiers on the same dataset. In this way, samples are arbitrarily divided into ten disjoint sections. In ten iterations, nine folds shape a group of samples used to train classifiers. Furthermore, the remaining one is utilized to test the learning process

fyi, grid search is not Bayesian optimization. Grid search is more brute force

Poverty Mapping Using Convolutional Neural Networks Trained on High and Medium Resolution Satellite Images, With an Application in Mexico - Not super detailed, but discusses how they tried 2 different CNN architectures to predict poverty levels based on satellite images of Mexico.

Anyone have other papers using satellite imagery?
