Ensemble neural nets

On: The Flaw Lurking In Every Deep Neural Net

That makes sense. Rare errors will be screened out if instead of a single deterministic selection process you use a distribution of schemes and select based on the most probable outcome... I am wondering what our brain does with its minority reports...

Go for LHC P1: Meyrin

On: What Are Must-Sees For Open Day At the LHC?

I say go for "LHC P1: Meyrin" which seems to include a visit of ATLAS. My opinion is ATLAS is a must-see. But don't go there is you have a pacemaker.

Ok. Next time I keep it for myself.

In perspective

On: The Costs of Making a DRAM Chip

Maybe someone out there can provide some numbers to compare the environmental cost of producing a chip with the environmental cost of producing a hot dog, for example.

Re:Side effect

On: No Future in American Science

Well I was refering to what is expected in Canada for the next 10 years. Part of the problem arises from the fact that an unusually large part of academic scientists will retire in the next decade. Maybe the situation is different in USA. Don't forget that the effects of the shortage of PhD's may only be felt in many years from now.

Side effect

On: No Future in American Science

A side effect of the shortage of PhD graduates is the difficulty for Universities to recruit enough qualified scientists to preserve the current amount of research & teaching and prevent units or even departments closures.
