Q: How many machine learning specialists does it take to change a light bulb?



A: Just one, but they require a million light bulbs to train properly.



Q: How many machine learning specialists does it take to change a fluorescent light bulb?



A: That wasn't in the training data!

  1. If you torture data long enough, it will tell you whatever you want to hear.

Frequentists vs. Bayesians



Frequentists vs. Bayesians – xkcd



Transcript:




Did the sun just explode?

(It's night, so we're not sure)



[[Two statisticians stand alongside an adorable little computer that is suspiciously similar to K-9 that speaks in Westminster typeface]]
Frequentist Statistician: This neutrino detector measures whether the sun has gone nova.
Bayesian Statistician: Then, it rolls two dice. If they both come up as six, it lies to us. Otherwise, it tells the truth.
FS: Let's try. [[to the detector]] Detector! Has the sun gone nova?
Detector: <<roll>> YES.



Frequentist Statistician:
FS: The probability of this result happening by chance is $frac1{36}=0.027$. Since $p< 0.05$, I conclude that the sun has exploded.



Bayesian Statistician:
BS: Bet you $50 it hasn't.




Title text:




'Detector! What would the Bayesian statistician say if I asked him whether the–' [roll] 'I AM A NEUTRINO DETECTOR, NOT A LABYRINTH GUARD. SERIOUSLY, DID YOUR BRAIN FALL OUT?' [roll] '... yes.'

      But but but, the bar with the large uncertainty is the only one I trust. Who would trust someone who claims to be absolutely sure of everything, rather than the one who rightly puts in a realistic level of uncertainty?

    Unsure whether they qualify, but there are some fun facts taken from various sources:



    Beginning from Yann Lecun:




    • Geoff Hinton doesn't need to make hidden units. They hide by
      themselves when he approaches.


    • Geoff Hinton doesn't disagree with you, he contrastively diverges

      (from Vincent Vanhoucke)


    • Shakespeare and Bayes are in a boat, fishing. Bayes is trying to figure out which net to cast when Shakespeare says:
      "loopy or not loopy? that is the question".


    • Deep Belief Nets actually believe deeply in Geoff Hinton.


    • Geoff Hinton discovered how the brain really works. Once a year for

      the last 25 years.



    • Bayesians are the only people who can feel marginalized after being integrated



      And now the legend:



      enter image description here




    One from Reddit:



    YOLO: you only LEARN once



    P.S: Ian Goodfellow and Jurgen Schmidhuber are co-authoring a paper (to be presented at NIPS 2019) on Inverse GANs (More jokes on the topic here)

        Question: What's the different between machine learning and AI?



        Answer:



        If it's written in Python, then it's probably machine learning.

                  Frequentist Statistician:
                  FS: The probability of this result happening by chance is $frac1{36}=0.027$. Since $p< 0.05$, I conclude that the sun has exploded.

                            But but but, the bar with the large uncertainty is the only one I trust. Who would trust someone who claims to be absolutely sure of everything, rather than the one who rightly puts in a realistic level of uncertainty?

                            But but but, the bar with the large uncertainty is the only one I trust. Who would trust someone who claims to be absolutely sure of everything, rather than the one who rightly puts in a realistic level of uncertainty?

                          Unsure whether they qualify, but there are some fun facts taken from various sources:



                          Beginning from Yann Lecun:




                          • Geoff Hinton doesn't need to make hidden units. They hide by
                            themselves when he approaches.


                          • Geoff Hinton doesn't disagree with you, he contrastively diverges

                            (from Vincent Vanhoucke)


                          • Shakespeare and Bayes are in a boat, fishing. Bayes is trying to figure out which net to cast when Shakespeare says:
                            "loopy or not loopy? that is the question".


                          • Deep Belief Nets actually believe deeply in Geoff Hinton.


                          • Geoff Hinton discovered how the brain really works. Once a year for

                            the last 25 years.



                          • Bayesians are the only people who can feel marginalized after being integrated



                            And now the legend:



                            enter image description here




                          One from Reddit:



                          YOLO: you only LEARN once



                          P.S: Ian Goodfellow and Jurgen Schmidhuber are co-authoring a paper (to be presented at NIPS 2019) on Inverse GANs (More jokes on the topic here)

                              • Geoff Hinton doesn't need to make hidden units. They hide by
                                themselves when he approaches.


                              • Geoff Hinton doesn't disagree with you, he contrastively diverges

                                (from Vincent Vanhoucke)


                              • Shakespeare and Bayes are in a boat, fishing. Bayes is trying to figure out which net to cast when Shakespeare says:
                                "loopy or not loopy? that is the question".


                              • Deep Belief Nets actually believe deeply in Geoff Hinton.


                              • Geoff Hinton discovered how the brain really works. Once a year for

                                the last 25 years.



                              • Bayesians are the only people who can feel marginalized after being integrated



                                And now the legend:

                              One from Reddit:



                              YOLO: you only LEARN once



                              P.S: Ian Goodfellow and Jurgen Schmidhuber are co-authoring a paper (to be presented at NIPS 2019) on Inverse GANs (More jokes on the topic here)

                                          Question: What's the different between machine learning and AI?



                                          Answer:



                                          If it's written in Python, then it's probably machine learning.



                                          If it's written in PowerPoint, then it's probably AI.
