Day 36: A PhD is Not a Picnic

If use of every statistical model was accompanied warnings similar to those accompanying every prescription drug. In medical research, mistakes in data analysis can shorten 1000s of lives. #biostatistics #statistics #datascience pic.twitter.com/GhLltkd3NG

This program gets a score of 162 in Atari Bowling, which is now the new state-of-art for Bowling beating RUDDER's previously held state-of-art of 108. I didn't have a lot of resources so I only did Bowling. I hope the community can continue investigating this new type of AI. pic.twitter.com/1T3O1AH5qu

My colleague Raghu has just released "Quantizing deep convolutional networks for efficient inference" - https://t.co/D87ziflTqd
This white paper covers practical quantization approaches for most common CNNs in @TensorFlow, I think it will be super useful!

Glad people are thinking and talking more about the risks of face recognition lately, but important to remember that it's only one of many emerging computer vision tools. Others with similar implications include action recognition, emotion recognition, video summarization, etc.

The more econometrics I learn, the less I trust any given estimate that's not a simple difference in means from an experiment.
