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.


  2. Statistics shows that statistics cannot be trusted.

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.'

    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.



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

              In 2006, a common joke was that you would get an award for writing a paper that would either have "Karl Marx" or "Neural Network" in the title and get accepted at NIPS. Now that's become the standard for the latter... :D

                    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.

                        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.



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