"context": "What does \"semantic gap\" mean? I was reading DT-LET: Deep transfer learning by exploring where to transfer, and it contains the following:\n\nIt should be noted direct use of labeled source domain data on a new scene of target domain would result in poor performance due to the semantic gap betwe... |

"context": "Why do we need both the validation set and test set? I know that this has been asked a hundred times before, however, I was not able to find a question (and an answer) which actually answered what I wanted to know, respectively, which explained it in a way I was able to understand. So, I'm trying ... |

"context": "How is this Pytorch expression equivalent to the KL divergence? I found the following PyTorch code (from this link)\n-0.5 * torch.sum(1 + sigma - mu.pow(2) - sigma.exp())\n\nwhere mu is the mean parameter that comes out of the model and sigma is the sigma parameter out of the encoder. This express... |

I'm aiming to create a neural network that can learn to predict the next state of a board using the rules of Conway's Game of Life.\nTechnically, I have three questions, but I felt that the... |

I'm trying to learn about neural networks, and I'm interested in gaining a better conceptual understanding of how they work to solve certain problems. I'm having trouble in conceptually understanding how they succeed in doing regression (i.e. predict... |
