Modern neural networks, with billions of parameters, are so overparameterized that they can "overfit" even random, structureless data. Yet when trained on datasets with structure, they learn the ...

What if the programming language you rely on most is on the brink of a transformation? For millions of developers worldwide, Python is not just a tool, it’s a cornerstone of their craft, powering ...

Occam’s Razor is a cornerstone of the social sciences, and for financial economists it is almost an article of faith. The principle is named after William of Ockham, a 14th-century monk. It holds that ...

A startling milestone has been reached in Florida's war against the invasive Burmese pythons eating their way across the Everglades. The Conservancy of Southwest Florida reports it has captured and ...

This project builds and optimizes a model on a dataset using Ridge regression and polynomial features. Model accuracy is enhanced through regularization and polynomial transformations. Grid search and ...

Deep neural networks’ seemingly anomalous generalization behaviors, benign overfitting, double descent, and successful overparametrization are neither unique to neural networks nor inherently ...

Have you ever been impressed by how AI models like ChatGPT or GPT-4 seem to “understand” complex problems and provide logical answers? It’s easy to assume these systems are capable of genuine ...

It's been a leap-ahead year for Python—bringing on more speed, less cruft, and a large and growing user base. Credit: Pavel L Photo and Video / Shutterstock Over the course of 2024, Python has proven ...
