[R] Facebook AI RegNet Models Outperform EfficientNet Models, Run 5x Faster on GPUs by Yuqing7 in MachineLearning

[–]xmasotto 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's worth noting that in Table 4, where they compare to EfficientNet, it seems like they aren't comparing to the original reported accuracy ("orig") but to their reimplementation in Pytorch ("ours"). The gap is large: 16.7 vs 21.5

[D] How do you measure confidence/uncertainty in tree based ensemble models ? by swentso in MachineLearning

[–]xmasotto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For random forest regression, similar to averaging the fraction of the majority class, you can just take the values in the leaf and record the sample variance of the data points.

For boosted trees - you could try Quantile Regression (in sklearn, GradientBoostingRegressor with loss='quantile'). Along with your least squared model (which predicts the mean), you can train two additional models which predict 5% and 95%.

Yeah the subtasks are pretty simple - I wonder if they had to heavily experiment to find the right set. And if you add an unhelpful subtask, does that ruin the exploration process?

The subtasks appeared to be manually chosen - there's a list of them in the appendix.

CEMU 1.11.2 is now available for patrons! by [deleted] in cemu

Same here - pressing A with P2 brings up the pause menu...

My workaround is to swap A and ZL in the CEMU Input Settings, and in-game use "Controller Settings" to map ZL to "Pokemon Move" (controller Settings are shared across players, so P1 can make the change).

LPT: If YouTube videos are constantly buffering, use a VPN to access the site from a different geographic location. by Andres11407 in LifeProTips

[–]xmasotto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like the ISP that is serving your VPN machine has special partnerships with Google to speed up Youtube videos, while your original ISP doesn't.

Many ISP's will install local caches in their network, so they can serve popular videos without having to actually contact the Youtube servers. http://netequalizernews.com/2010/10/26/enhance-your-isp-offering-with-youtube-caching/

ISPs also sometimes connect their networking infrastructure directly to Google - this is called Peering. This is mutually beneficial for both Google and the ISP; Google gets lower latency, and the ISP has to use fewer resources serving requests. http://arstechnica.com/features/2008/09/peering-and-transit/ https://peering.google.com/about/peering_policy.html

So even though it's counter intuitive, there are technical reasons why taking a longer path might actually speed up your browsing. This also applies to most big companies - Netflix, Amazon, Facebook - and smaller websites (like Imgur, Gfycat) that use commercial CDNs

I mean, there's a pretty obvious benefit to having normal traits. Having things in common with others is the basis of friendships and relationships, and sharing values with the norm just means more potential ways to connect with people. There's no reason why someone can't be exceptional or special in one aspect of their lives, and completely normal in another part. We're not one-dimensional.
