As somebody who spent appreciable time with numerous pc science subjects, the place mathematical abstractions can generally be very dry and summary, I discover the sensible, hands-on nature of knowledge science to be a breath of recent air. It by no means fails to amaze me how even the only concepts can result in fascinating outcomes.
This text faces one among these shocking revelations I simply stumbled upon.
A Irritating Introduction
I’ll always remember how the implementation of my Bachelor’s thesis went. Whereas it was not about machine studying, it had a formative impact on me, and I’ll handle to always remind myself of it when tinkering with neural networks. It was an intense time as a result of the thesis was about an analytical mannequin of sound propagation that aimed to run within the browser, thus having very restricted efficiency resulting in lengthy operating simulations. It always failed to finish after operating for a lot of hours. However the worst expertise was decoding wrongly configured simulations with complicated outcomes, which frequently made me assume the entire mannequin was nonsense.
The identical occurs now and again once I really prepare neural networks myself. It may be exhausting to…
