(aka. Living a Successful Life)
Building a product can be quite simple, but the best ones include insights from human behavior, algorithmic efficiency, and usability. To start, an engineer might build a sophisticated app that uses some cutting edge technology. It is a non-trivial feat which required:
It’s straightforward to see that L1 and L2 regularization both prefer small numbers, but it is harder to see the intuition in how they get there.
The pace of machine learning research is advancing at such a breakneck pace, the only way to keep up is to read every single day. So awhile back, 100 days ago to be exact, I decided to read one paper every single day - the first thing to tackle every morning. The organization is split up into two posts (NLP and Images) to make a gigantic blog post into two really large ones. Please note, this is written by a student and may contain errors.
