Is there a polite, constructive way to tell him no word has been put into the "original author's mouth"?<p>What he's reading there is just the following sentence in the book, separated with a comma...<p>>
TextBlob does a pretty good job at the translation: "C'est une vérité universellement reconnue, qu'un homme célibataire en possession d'une bonne fortune doit avoir besoin d'une femme!".<p>It can be argued that TextBlob's translation is far more exact, in fact, than the 1932 French translation of the book by V. Leconte and Ch. Pressoir:<p>"C'est une vérité universelle qu'un célibataire pourvu d'une belle fortune doit avoir envie de se marier, et, si peu que l'on sache de son sentiment à cet egard, lorsqu'il arrive dans une nouvelle résidence, cette idée est si bien fixée dans l'esprit de ses voisins qu'ils le considèrent sur-le-champ comme la propriété légitime de l'une ou l'autre de leurs filles."<p>In this case, the translation informed by ML does a better job than the human translator who is unnecessarily putting words in the original author's mouth for 'clarity'.<p><a href="https://github.com/microsoft/ML-For-Beginners/blob/main/6-NLP/3-Translation-Sentiment/README.md#translation-and-sentiment-analysis-with-ml">https://github.com/microsoft/ML-For-Beginners/blob/main/6-NL...</a>
Relatedly, I recommend Andrej Karpathy’s “neural net: zero to hero” YouTube lectures. He breaks things down to the fundamentals in this really nice way, and you follow along in your own jupyter notebook.
Looks pretty nice (high-level skimming of content .. I work in the field but more DL focused. Mathy ML is my nemesis).<p>Two questions related to learning in general:<p>1) I feel I have a good undergrad level grasp of ML but not at a grad level grasp. The math is a bit overwhelming. I am not a fan of conferences like Neurips. Any one else try to conquer this challenge and have a story to share?<p>2) A bit off topic but the XR course they have linked on the page is also cute. It lists both Unity and MRTK. I have a Hololens2 and am curious about spatial mapping and awareness (just to learn at the moment). Any suggestions on what is a good stack for this area? I have very little 3D graphics background .. unity seems a bit too high for serious work and an engine seems too level :(
I’ll give it a look when I get off my phone. I’m trying to bootstrap some fundamentals for a personal project.<p>Currently working through some chapters of “AI. A modern approach “ book.
