程式總有錯,那怕來自行業龍頭之一。
There goes three hours of my life. Debugging.
Reading an article called “Forecasting with artificial neural networks: The state of the art”, published in…1998. The state of the art back then had 2 layers and 40 neurons. #CannotCiteSomethingThisOutdated
除了AlphaGo,其實還有很多值得留意的人工智能發展。例如現在正在美國進行中的無上限德州撲克大賽,由Carnegie Mellon大學的人工智能對世界上最頂尖的人類選手進行20天的比賽。到目前為止戰況可說是一面倒向電腦一方。
和圍棋不同,德州撲克是一種有隱蔽資訊的遊戲,參賽者並不知道對手以及未派發的牌為何。因此德州撲克相比起圍棋對解決很多現實中的問題意義更大。
Texas Hold’em is a much more interesting game than Go when it comes to real-world artificial intelligence application, since many important real world issues inherently involves imperfect information. 5 days into the game and the human pros are losing badly.
Claudico battles Donger Kim, Jason Les, Bjorn Li, Doug Polk in Brains vs. AI at Rivers Casion, the first time that a computer program has played Heads-up No-limit Texas Hold’em in competition with top human players.

TensorFlow and CUDA 8.0
TensorFlow up and running with CUDA 8.0. Life-saving tip: always explicitly enter your CUDA and cuDNN versions during configuration.
My first impression is TF is a bit behind Nervana Neon in terms of training speed and ease of use. Too bad the latter now belongs to Intel, which clearly wants to promote its own Pentium-based Xeon Phi over Nvidia GPU.

Theano, cuDNN and CNMeM
cuDNN and CNMeM are must-haves when training neutral networks with Theano. 2x performance gain in practical usage.
係傳統銀行不斷裁員之際,計量金融是少數有增長的領域。所以我成日同同學講:一定要識程式編寫,一定要識程式編寫,一定要識程式編寫。(重要嘅嘢要講三次,好似係。)
For students interested in working in the finance field, learning how to write code is more important than ever before.
“[A]s these firms have grown, so has the demand for a new breed of Wall
Street trader — one who can build financial models and write computer code
but who also has the guts to spot a market anomaly and bet big with the firm’s capital.”
