It’s very common for machine learning practitioners to have favorite algorithms. It’s a bit irrational, since no algorithm strictly…
After flying this past weekend (together with Gabriel and Leandro) with Gabriel's drone (which is an handmade APM 2.6 based quadcopter) in our town (Porto Alegre, Brasil), I decided to implement a tracking for objects using OpenCV and Python and check how the results would be using simple and fast methods like…
For two weeks last July, I cocooned myself in a hotel in Portland, OR, living and breathing probabilistic programming as a “student” in the probabilistic programming summer school run by DARPA. The…
The frequentist paradigm enjoys the most widespread acceptance forstatistical analysis. Frequentist concepts such as confidence intervalsand p-values dominat...
MIT professor Scott Aaronson discusses new Google experiments that suggest the D-Wave computer exploits quantum phenomena.
Greedy algorithms are among the simplest and most intuitive algorithms known to humans. Their name essentially gives their description: do the thing that looks best right now, and repeat until nothing looks good anymore or you’re forced to stop. Some of the best situations in computer science are also when greedy…
I invest in early-stage AI, ML, and data startups at FirstMark Capital, and I write about the space here
I’ve been reading a paper [1] written two decades ago, which itself is an account of events two decades before that. It is Alan Kay nominally writing about the history of a programming langua…
For the few last months, I have been working on CUDA support for the Julia language . It is now possible to write kernels in Julia and without much hassle execute them on a NVIDIA GPU, but there are still many limitations.
This is part two of a a two-part post—the first part is here. THE NEED FOR REGULATION Although there has been a lot of discussion about the dangers of machine intelligence recently, there...
Part 2: "Our Immortality or Our Extinction". When Artificial Intelligence gets superintelligent, it's either going to be a dream or a nightmare for us.
