Gradient boosting is on average the best algorithm for tabular data while CNN is the best for images. What to do when we have multimodal datasets? After 3 years of hard work Representational Gradient Boosting has been published at TPAMI https://t.co/fvcUTbqK6H

@elonmusk Why doesn’t Tesla customer support answer customers calls? A conditional approved order has been retained for more than a week without being able to contact anyone. This is kind of ridiculous

[Moffitt Machine Learning @ml4onco]

Dr. Heather M. Whitney, PhD (Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology at the University of Chicago) will be our speaker for @ml4onco's Research Seminar. Her topic will be, "AI of Medical Imaging for Clinical Translation of Radiomics"

@filippie509 You are missing a key point. The contribution is not for the elite programming algorithms but by all the people that can code 1000 times faster now in a myriad of applications that wouldn’t otherwise be done. Essentially democratizing programming.
