Thanks for the pointers.

From my personal experience, Auto-encoders are amazing for dense input (images, audio etc), more specifically, when the input feature space is not large. However, in many real-world problems such as recommendation, ranking etc. the feature space is generally very sparse for eg clicks, purchase of items (say 100M items). In such cases, scaling can be challenging with neural models esp Autoencoder.


>>I think the hashes could take some work. Any suggestions or thing that are not clear?

Thanks for your feedback. I shall update the post accordingly.


Nothing but #respect. It's hard to see people who give up fortune for what they consider right thing(atleast from his perspective).


I think he's still making money from the in-game ads in already downloaded copies of Flappy Bird. Still cool. "Independent thinker". I like it.


yes, especially as he doesn't want to sell it and let someone else deal with the crap. Shame that people want to cut down others who are successful


Btw, If someone wants to drop out from the course. How can he/she do so ?


I recall them saying you don't have to do anything. Just stop participating and they will know whether you are active or something like that


Good to know because I leaped before I looked, never had AP level physics and barely any calculus but 1/3 of the way through an electronics cert.


I had the same question; looks like the parent post is correct. I found the FAQ here:

http://mitx.mit.edu/6002x-faq.html

"How do I drop the course?

You do not have to do anything. You can simply stop working on the course at any time you choose to do so.

What happens if I drop the course?

For the prototype course, learners achieving grades of "A," "B," or "C" will receive an electronic Certificate of completion with the learner's name and grade on it. If you receive a grade below a "C" or do not complete the course, you will not receive a Certificate and no grade record attaching your name to your participation in the class will be disclosed outside of MITx. You can also choose to opt for a no record at any time. However, the posts you make while enrolled in the class will remain visible."


Thanks for the info :)


Awesome. MITx platform is superior than any other online learning platform i have ever seen. Very well done. Congrats.

Well i think you need to adjust your routine. I think both startup and relationship are equally important and you have to manage accordingly. Relationship stands on top of understanding and i think you both should understand each other. If your girl understands you and you do the same then i dont think it wont be any problem.

Good luck.

I do it whenever i lack motivation. It helps me a lot, I hope it will help you in same way.

And you if you really think you want to take a break, Come to Nepal, Its a nice place to be. However its landlocked so you wont find beaches.


Nice work.
