When an AI breakthrough isn’t one: Batching process

This is an interesting bit for neural processing via GPU's. Deep neural process Instead of training on the entire 100 million outcomes—product purchases, in this example—Mach divides them into three "buckets," each containing 33.3 million randomly selected outcomes. Now, MACH creates another "world," and in that world, the 100 million outcomes are again randomly sorted into … Continue reading When an AI breakthrough isn’t one: Batching process

#Reference Manager Showdown: a full review of #Papers 3, #Zotero, #F1000, and #Paperpile (+ ReadCube)

I like the application, but their web service is entirely dependent on Google. I dislike Google Drive- it syncs horribly, and there's no comparison for Dropbox. … Continue reading #Reference Manager Showdown: a full review of #Papers 3, #Zotero, #F1000, and #Paperpile (+ ReadCube)
