jkbschwarzon I asked an online tracking company for all of my data (2018)

Extension idea: A chrome or firefox extension that allows me to automatically choose the minimum cookie settings for most websites that use a standardised “consent solution”. I.e. if it is a consent solution by quantcast it automatically opt-outs of all cookies.

does anybody know whether this already exists?

jkbschwarzon Deep Forest: Towards an Alternative to Deep Neural Networks

To your point that they are comparing small datasets. I dont see that as a problem. If they achieve better results on small datasets that is a great achievement, as often the bottleneck is the size of the dataset rather than computation time.

Yes happy to share once the evaluation period is over, but sadly I dont think Im allowed to share beforehand. Will have to check when but I expect it should be in approximately 2 weeks.

In the meantime, you might want to check out this excellent blog post http://r2rt.com/recurrent-neural-networks-in-tensorflow-ii.h.... This will provide you with skeleton code to implement a character level generative model (similar to Practical 3, Task 2 with the exception that there you will generate words and not characters). Andrej Karpathy's blog post on LSTMs is also excellent and I believe he also provides the code in his repository as well http://karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/

jkbschwarzon Oxford Deep NLP – An advanced course on natural language processing

yes if you go to the root https://github.com/oxford-cs-deepnlp-2017/ you will find the practicals 1-3. Practical 1 has a jupyter notebook skeleton. Practicals 2 & 3 are simply questions guiding your implementation, but you are supposed to write it yourself from scratch.

Im taking this course at Oxford and they have been working through the practicals 1-3 (further ones will be posted)

For anyone considering working through this outside of Oxford: I think the practicals are the real gems here and should be doable without the practical lab sessions that you get when attending the course. With that being said, they use a dataset a bit closer to a real world assignment. Therefore, it requires some patience when wrangling the data especially for the later practicals.

However, the patience should pay off and it is rewarding once you build your own nonsense spewing TEDbot!
