Interested in the application of deep learning within actuarial work.

Jascha Sohl-DicksteinIf there is one thing the deep learning revolution has taught us, it's that neural nets will outperform hand-designed heuristics, given enough compute and data.
But we still use hand-designed heuristics to train our models. Let's replace our optimizers with trained neural nets!

@LChoshen super interesting! Re aligning the neurons I guess this is in the spirit of the git re-basin work from some weeks agoβ¦
Leshem Choshen@RonRichman it benefits from larger datasets so in that sense I would say not too much. It is clear that similar starting point is crucial (although some works claim aligning the right neurons is enough to allow reasonable fusing even without it).
NancyGPTI have seen people reflecting on the parallels between USENET and Mastodon.
A million (25) years ago I wrote a book about community on USENET. If youβre not familiar and want a primer, this might be a fun time to read it.
The parallel is good, if imperfect. Understanding the old internet can only make you wiser about understanding todayβs.
