AI companies have been testing and using synthetic data (at least) since we a) realised that labels are expensive in supervised deep learning and b) started seriously looking at AI on sensitive data.

Reflecting on the validity of transfer learning approaches

Je trouvais ca super cool comme approche , ca avait l'air d'être un transfer learning intelligent… Mais bon… quand c'est trop beau c'est surement que c'est pipeauté.

Identifying code errors in machine learning research benchmarks
By
–
Looks like the gzip paper I was enthusiastic about over-estimated its scores because of a bug in the code: it did top-2 knn instead of k=2. We should remember this as (yet another) a strong case for testing in ml code. I still like that it put a new idea in my toolbox. t.co/MyJA2BEExs

Critique of Gzip OOD Evaluation and Data Leakage in ML
By
–
I looked a little into the Gzip OOD results and there seems to be another big problem: train-test overlap. E.g. DengueFilipino has the same train and test set. KirundiNews has 90% overlap… Still nice to see people revisit old ideas and the use of information theory for ML 🙂 x.com/giffmana/statu…

Critical Analysis of ML Research Evaluation Methodology
By

Fun Fact : ce papier semble avoir commis des erreurs assez grave en termes d’évaluation et n’est pas aussi bon qu’attendu. Il est même pire. Donc non ça ne révolutionnera pas le monde du ML si ce n’est pour rappeler des bases de ML… Les chercheurs ont pris un top2 accuracy à

The challenge of building national datasets for AI training
By
–
Avec quelles bdd ? L’anglais c’est la langue d’internet donc c’est obvious de trouver des quantités astronomiques de données. Les seuls autres pays qui ont construit des bdd nationales qui serait de taille ok c’est la Russie et la Chine. En Europe on découvre à peine.
