Comcast DNS outage. Why don't you use this opportunity to switch to 1.1.1.1?

Really interesting paper exploring adversarial inputs to ML models: https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.02175

They conclude:
* It's a property of the input data, not the training
* You can even train a model on non-robust features and obtain a model that works well on the original input data!

Info for new users: if possible, please add a quick description to the images you're posting, it helps our friends who user some #Accessibility tools like screenreaders! Most apps have support for it, the webview definitely does, and it doesn't need to be too much info.

Make sure to stick around for a while. It isn't like other sites, so your experience will be way different.

But I promise with time it will be better.

So, we got to the phase of having papers about sentiment recognition in Mastodon?

Feynman technique - a simple and powerful way to rapidly learn and retain new concepts.

1. Write down the name of concept you're trying to learn.

2. Explain it in plain English, as if you were teaching it to a new student.

3. Identify things you couldn't explain well, re-read the source material and research them. Try explaining again until these knowledge gaps are gone.

4. Simplify your explanation, get rid of technical terms and use simple analogies. ELI5.
