This paper highlights an issue that many people don’t think about. Fyi when trying to compare or reproduce results, always try to get the dataset from the same source as the original author and scale it in the same way. Unfortunately, many authors assume the scaling is obvious and don’t include it but changes in scaling can lead to very different results.

Welcome! This is a place for people to learn more about machine learning techniques, discuss applications and ask questions.

Example questions:

“Should I use a deep neural network for my audio classification task?”
“I’m working with a small dataset, what can I do to make my model generalize well?”
“Is there a library available that implements function X in language Y?”
“I want to learn more about the math behind machine learning technique A, where should I start?”

Please do:

Be kind to new people
Post guides and tutorials that you find helpful
Link to open/free sources instead of paywalled when possible

Please don’t:

Post news articles / memes (there are other machine learning/AI communities for this)
