Is there an optimal number of species for NEAT?

Is there an optimal number of species for NEAT? Since too low and too high is bad, I am thinking about adjusting the threshold of the distance function at runtime in order to have the number of ...

Given a 2-layer GCN, can we choose the dimensions of the 2nd weight matrix, such that this architecture has the same capacity as a 1-layer GCN?

This might be more of a question about nested function classes: For $k$ class node classification in a graph with $n$ nodes, and $d$ feature vector. I want to compare Architecture I: the GCN model of ...

What is the benefit of scaling the hyperparameter C of an SVM?

Please read the following page of the Sklearn documentation. The figure shown there (see below) illustrates why C should be scaled when using a SVM with 'l1' penalty, whereas it shouldn't be scaled ...

Looking for a way to train a model to learn optimal parameters/hyperparameters of clustering

I have 5000 docs, each is a review. For each review, i'm plotting the sentences in a semantic dimension. Now, I'm applying clustering to these points for each review. The success of my model depends ...

How to make my neural networks designs more robust

Whenever, I design a neural network to solve a novel problem (requires a novel loss function i.e. not image classification) it always ends up being hypersensitive to batch size and learning rate. ...

How does noise input size affect fake image generation with GANs?

In Generative Adversarial Networks, the Generator takes noise vector as input and feeds it forward to create an image. The noise vector consists of random numbers sampled from the normal distribution. ...

Should we start with a small batch-size and increase during training to improve sample efficiency?

Just made an interesting observation playing around with the stable-baseline's implementation of PPO and the BipedalWalker environment from OpenAI's Gym. But I believe this should be a general ...

Why is the number of neurons used in various neural networks power of 2?

I have noticed that almost all tutorials take the number of neurons as a power of 2. Is there any proper mathematical and well-proven reason for that? If you sometimes change it to some other odd ...

Why is the $\epsilon$ hyper-parameter (in the $\epsilon$-greedy policy) annealed smoothly?

As far as I understand, RL is a process that can be divided into 2 stages: Exploring a wide range of paths (acting randomly) Refining the current optimal paths (revolving around actions with a so-...
