A Few Useful Things to Know about Machine Learning

The paper presents some key lessons and "folk wisdom" that machine learning researchers and practitioners have learnt from experience and which are hard to find in textbooks.

1. Learning = Representation + Evaluation + Optimization

All machine learning algorithms have three components:

  • Representation for a learner is the set if classifiers/functions that can be possibly learnt. This set is called hypothesis space. If a function is not in hypothesis space, it can not be learnt.
  • Evaluation function tells how good the machine learning model is.
  • Optimisation is the method to search for the most optimal learning model.

Find your position in a meetup.com waitlist
// Open the developer console of your favorite browser
// on the page of your favorite meetup where you're on the wailist (grrr)
// and paste this by putting your name
// This will actually compute the position in the waitlist div which seems to correspond to the waitlist position
var findPosition = function(username) { return $("#rsvp-list-waitlist h5").map(function(i, el) {return {"pos": i, "name": $(el).text()}}).filter(function(i, el) {return el["name"].indexOf(username) >= 0;})}
findPosition("my displayed name") // where my displayed name is the name that is displayed for you on the meetup
