There is more to this quote than you might think. Grammatically, in English the verb "swim" requires an "animate subject", i.e. a living being, like a human or an animal. So the question of whether a submarine can swim…
FreeType was written when fonts were local, trusted, resources, and it was written in low-level C to be fast. The TrueType/OpenType format is also made for fast access, e.g. with internal pointers, making validation a…
That makes it sound like it’s a choice, which it isn’t really. The way to look at it is from a probabilistic perspective: with the fix, you maximise the probability of the data. Without the fix, you fairly arbitrarily…
Isn’t the main problem the cost of heating? In the UK at least a kWh of electricity cost 4 times what a kWh of gas costs. Even if a heat pump is twice as efficient as gas heating, the cost of heating is still twice as…
I agree except for (6). A language model assigns probabilities to sequences. The model needs normalised distributions, eg using a softmax, so that’s the right way of thinking about it.
In English everywhere except the US, it’s “horse riding”; “horseback riding” is US English. Definitely humorous: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5wSw3IWRJa0
Training a speaker-specific recogniser that improves over a generic recogniser requires a lot more data nowadays. First, generic systems are a lot better and trained on a lot more data nowadays. Second, speaker…

This is how healthcare is set up in Switzerland and the Netherlands. It is just an implementation issue how payments (through tax or otherwise) are routed. In a system that involves market forces, the key thing is that…
The "model" in the title is the model of the world, as a probabilistic model. The good thing about such a model is that it explicitly states your beliefs about the world. Once you've defined it, in theory reasoning…
To train a speech recogniser on subtitles, you need to be careful to allow for words missing from the transcriptions. But it has been done: goo.gl/Syx27j
I know that Andrew Ng and colleagues say that they don't use HMMs. I haven't spoken with them (I haven't seen them at speech conferences) so I do not know whether they actually believe this themselves. I believe the…
Probabilistic models. Recent research often focuses on Bayesian models. Probabilistic models have never really gone away. This presentation by LeCun actually suggests embedding neural networks inside of various types of…
