  1. Re:Neural Networks on Babybot Learns Like You Did · · Score: 1

    If by "relevant" you mean "relevant to humans" you would often be right by definition, since classifier performance is often measured relative to a human baseline. SVM is a hell of a lot faster as classifying though.

    However, I have known SVM to outperform humans on some tasks, such as identifying genes correlated with cancer diagnoses.

    Wouldn't Logistic Regression be faster and produce equally good results? At least, with text classification that usually seems to be the case.

    Unfortunately, the law of Computational Equivalence tells us that Mathematica is no better than Maple or Matlab.

    Actually, I see in the report that I come from a rare state that is both "red" and a "net contributor", so I guess that just means that my state isn't as hypocritical as the other red states when it comes to federal spending.

    I mostly agree with that except for the following snippet:

    "Red states" residents who feel so strongly that the federal subsidies should be restrained should apply pressure locally and at a state level to wean their local communities off those subsidies.

    The reason I disagree is that I think to wean them is impossible. I'd like to end the subsidies from the federal government so that the local communities have to quit cold-turkey. Only then we will see if rural types are as self-reliant as they say they are (and I think they will be).

    I know many people who could be totally self-reliant, but they take in huge amounts of farm subsidies, because it's easier than working. (In fact, they get paid to do nothing.)

    If you think the democrats are any different from the republicans with regard to fiscal retardation, then there's not much point in trying to use logic to convince you of anything.

    Besides, I'm a "gay-loving baby killer", and I find that "self-reliance" == "not wanting the govt to tell me who I can/cannot marry/abort". As long as they have the purse-strings, you don't have freedom.

    So, what exactly are you trying to say, other than bashing half the country, mr. troll?

    Um, I live in a "red state" and I oppose handouts. I know that a lot of other people in my state get them, but maybe that's why I oppose them.

    Or maybe we think, "The blue-staters keep trying to give us handouts we don't want. Oh well, if they are gonna keep being so retarded, I guess we'll take their money."

    Didn't people at one time suspect that the Mona Lisa was originally a nude? Would you be offended if the person who owned that painting before it came to the Louvre had fashioned a "mask" to hang over the painting and obscure the naughty bits? They've altered how the art is presented, but the art itself remains completely intact. Same concept with my DVD's.

    That has to be the weirdest analogy I have ever seen... or will ever see.

    "All the work done is described in the paper, including the proof of correctness/termination of the algorithm/etc."

    Obviously, you've never tried to reproduce anything from a CS research paper. It's just not that simple. There are always dozens of minute but critical details missing.

    The problem with other fields' journals, like CS, is that the algorithms introduced often don't have free implementations of their experiments and data. So, even if the article is free as in speech, the "science" isn't.
