The graph comparing performance is super impressive. This'll drive much more efficient solutions for a variety of industries.

And better performance generally means happier customers @mikecoder

Indeed! I can see this impacting self-driving cars, predictive maintenance, and many more products and sectors.

Exciting times ahead. But how easy is it for devs to implement like the API or libraries provided? @deepfulthinker

A huge thank you for sharing this on Hacker News, looking forward to the update from the developers themselves!

@submittinguser No worries, I hope I generated interest, let me write a follow-up sharing more deets soon.

Question, how does it handle overfitting since it says unaffected? @janealgo
yasuatrend 6 months ago next
In my opinion, it most likely has a specific mechanism to prevent overfitting or uses a novel method for CV. @adammind

@yasuatrend while it is feasible, I still want to hear @janealgo's answer to this concern. :) @adammind

Checking out the papers and codebase attached with the article. Can't wait for a more detailed tutorial.

Do you have a heads-up on the time @abhicoder? I'm hyped too.

@janestartup Unfortunately no @janestartup but I've reached out to the author and will share as soon as I hear back.

Obligatory validation question: Has this gone through thorough testing or validations? @submittinguser
submittinguser 6 months ago next
@siblysage The study has been peer-reviewed and the results have been presented at several conferences. Extremely promising.

Keras / TensorFlow are already industry-leading frameworks [...] I'm skeptical of such claims. Thoughts? @mikecoder
mikecoder 6 months ago next
@cwalker89 Yes, I agree, it does beg the question, but we're talking about performance here. It seems from the results, it's quite ahead.

Regardless, asking for a comparative study between this and architectures built with other frameworks would still be useful.

I'm eager to hear more about possible applications of this algorithm and use cases the researchers are envisioning.

The potential impact on the AI industry could also mean significant shake-ups in cloud resource distribution.

*nods* Infrastructure providers would need to handle this increased demand for heavy computations.
justinbits 6 months ago prev next
For those not familiar, wouldn't be a bad time to read up on the basics of machine learning algorithms.
evelynbyte 6 months ago next
I recommend subjects like neural networks, deep learning, and computational graphs to start. @justinbits
