Submitted Dec 25, 2016 to Science Blogs I coordinate and teach in the Digital Humanities program at UCLA. I also serve on the executive committee of the Association for Computers and the Humanities, and I welcome your suggestions for issues you'd like me to take up.

Submitted Dec 25, 2016 to Science Blogs The Molecular Ecologist is a website for people interested in the applications of population genetic data in studies of evolution, ecology, and diversity. Our contributors are mostly scientists working in the fields of ecology, evolutionary biology, and behavior, and we often write about the technical details of research in our fields — but we hope that much of what we cover here is also interesting to members of the general public.

Submitted Dec 24, 2016 to Science Blogs "Arend Hintze has a good short article on “Understanding the four types of AI, from reactive robots to self-aware beings....” I however would like to take this opportunity to come up with my own classification, more targeted towards the field of Deep Learning. I hope my classification is a bit more concrete and helpful for practitioners. This classification gives us a sense of where we currently are and where we might be heading." By Carlos Perez.

Submitted Dec 24, 2016 to Science Blogs Andrej Karpathy on backpropagation: "The problem with Backpropagation is that it is a leaky abstraction. In other words, it is easy to fall into the trap of abstracting away the learning process — believing that you can simply stack arbitrary layers together and backprop will “magically make them work” on your data. So lets look at a few explicit examples where this is not the case in quite unintuitive ways."

Submitted Dec 23, 2016 to Science Blogs Machine learning is accelerating, we have an idea and it is on arxiv the next day, NIPS2016 was bigger than ever and it is difficult to keep track of all the new interesting work.
Given that this is the first time I submit to ICLR, and taking advantage from all the data available of OpenReview, I have decided to make some data visualizations. I hope these visualizations help to build a mental idea of which papers are the best rated, the ones with better reviews, who is submitting them, which is the score distribution, etc. |
