In this study, we delve into the generalization properties of binary logistic classification, showcasing the dynamics of Grokking in a random feature model. We discover that Grokking, characterized by delayed generalization and non-monotonic test loss, is enhanced when the model is applied to training sets near linear separability. Despite a perfect generalizing solution being available, […]
The Pre-Scheme Restoration project has made significant progress in porting the codebase to R7RS Scheme implementations. The use of “The Incomplete Scheme48 R7RS Compatibility Library” has helped maintain compatibility with Scheme 48 during the porting process. Scsh was adopted as a tooling platform for better support with filesystem and external processes. Implementing R7RS-small for Scheme […]
Darya Kawa Mirza, a self-taught Kurdish astrophotographer, recently showcased the moon in exceptional detail by stitching together 81,000 images into a massive 708-gigabyte composite. His work highlights the intricacies of the lunar topography, showcasing individual craters and colored spots formed by asteroid strikes and volcanic eruptions. Mirza’s technique of “phase fusion” involved piecing together images […]
