### Will parameter sweeping on one split of data followed by cross validation discover the right hyperparameters?

Let's call our dataset splits train/test/evaluate. We're in a situation where we require months of data. So we prefer to use the evaluation dataset as infrequently as possible to avoid polluting our ...

### How can Viv generate new code based on some user's query?

I have been looking into Viv, an artificial intelligent agent in development. Here is a demonstration of Viv (by Dag Kittlaus). Based on what I understand, this AI can generate new code and execute it ...

### Can some one help me understand this paragraph from Nvidia's progressive gan paper?

Furthermore, we observe that mode collapses traditionally plaguing GANs tend to happen very quickly, over the course of a dozen minibatches. Commonly they start when the discriminator overshoots, ...

### What is the number of neurons required to approximate a polynomial of degree n?

I learned about the universal approximation theorem from this guide. It states that a network even with a single hidden layer can approximate any function within some bound, given a sufficient number ...

### What is the relationship between the size of the hidden layer and the size of the cell state layer in an LSTM?

I was following some examples to get familiar with TensorFlow's LSTM API, but noticed that all LSTM initialization functions require only the num_units parameter, ...

### Given a list of integers $\{c_1, \dots, c_N \}$, how do I find an integer $D$ that minimizes the sum of remainders $\sum_i c_i \text{ mod } D$?

I have a set of fixed integers $S = \{c_1, \dots, c_N \}$. I want to find a single integer $D$, greater than a certain threshold $T$, i.e. $D > T \geq 0$, that divides each $c_i$ and leaves ...

### Extending FaceNet’s triplet loss to object recognition

FaceNet uses a novel loss metric (triplet loss) to train a model to output embeddings (128-D from the paper), such that any two faces of the same identity will have a small Euclidean distance, and ...

### Back-of-the-envelope machine learning (specifically neural networks) calculations

There is a popular story regarding the back-of-the-envelope calculation performed by a British physicist named G. I. Taylor. He used dimensional analysis to estimate the power released by the ...

### What is the difference between search and planning?

I'm studying Artificial Intelligence. A Modern Approach, Stuart Russell, Peter Norvig, specifically about search and planning arguments. I don't understand the difference between the two terms. I was ...

### What is the point of using 1D and 2D convolutions with a kernel size of 1 and 1x1 respectively?

I understand the gist of what convolutional neural networks do and what they are used for, but I still wrestle a bit with how they function on a conceptual level. For example, I get that filters with ...

### How to deal with a small amount of labeled samples?

I'm trying to develop skills to deal with very small amounts of labeled samples (250 labeled/20000 total, 200 features) by practicing on Kaggle "Don't Overfit" dataset (Traget_Practice have ...

### How do I use GPT-2 to summarise text?

In section 3.6 of the OpenAI GPT-2 paper it mentions summarising text based relates to this, but the method is described in very high-level terms: To induce summarization behavior we add the text <...

### Is there a difference in the architecture of deep reinforcement learning when multiple actions are performed instead of a single action?

I've built a deep deterministic policy gradient reinforcement learning agent to be able to handle any games/tasks that have only one action. However, the agent seems to fail horribly when there are ...
