i'm implementing my first CNN for image classification in a field with very few research.  I'm aware i could extract feature and then try SVM, knn...  But i want to be sure CNN is not a viable solution.  I have already tryied different architecture, hyperparametrisation... Result have increase from 45% to 60%. I still have thing to try (data augmentation,dropout, transfer learning...)   Are there clue that  can tell me  CNN will not work fo my task, or should i try all method to be sure cnn is not viable?  For exemple in my case, i got 12 categorie. 8 are easy to classify but for the 4 other it's very hard, and all my modification significantly affect my accuracy for the 8 class, but just increase accruracy for the 4 other class a little
Imagine a standard machine-learning scenario:     You are confronted with a large multivariate dataset and you have a   pretty blurry understanding of it. What you need to do is to make   predictions about some variable based on what you have. As usual, you   clean the data, look at descriptive statistics, run some models,   cross-validate them etc., but after several attempts, going back and   forth and trying multiple models nothing seems to work and your   results are miserable. You can spend hours, days, or weeks on such a   problem...   The question is: when to stop? How do you know that your data actually is hopeless and all the fancy models wouldn't do you any more good than predicting the average outcome for all cases or some other trivial solution?  Of course, this is a forecastability issue, but as far as I know, it is hard to assess forecastability for multivariate data before trying something on it. Or am I wrong?   Disclaimer: this question was inspired by this one  that did not attract much attention. It would be nice to have detailed answer to such question for reference.
Why does the wire-frame material fades across the object? Why does the wire-frame material fades across the object?  Here is what I did - I created a new material and I selected on "Wire" and I made it shadeless. Then, I created a new material and assigned the new material on the on the object. However, doing it that way, it allows me to render both materials - "Wire" and "Surface". Then I get a fading result like this -    But I want all of the edges to be shown, not a fading result. How can I make that?  Here is the blend file if anybody wants to check it out - Booting Ubuntu Failure : error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0' I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 in a Western Digital external hard drive (320GB). This is a complete installation, not a live USB.  When I plug it in my HP desktop I go to the BIOS settings and boot off the hard drive, everything work perfectly as it should. Now this works on every single computer and laptop in my house (all HP), except for ONE. My HP ProBook 4530s.  When I select to boot of the USB I get the message:  error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'   Now, I have removed the hard drive from my laptop and the external drive is the ONLY drive plugged in. Below is a screenshot of the message on the screen. After the message I navigate to ls / (as shown below):    After here I try to acces other folders under ls /, for example, I try to go to ls /boot to get to the grub folder. Then I get the same message as before: as shown below:    grub rescue&gt; ls /boot  error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0' grub rescue&gt; _   The only folders I can access without getting the message again are /home, /run and /usr.   So how do I:   Boot Ubuntu from GRUB2 (this screen) manually Set to automatically boot Ubuntu If possible an explanation for this problem   Thanks! Whether and how to thank a girlfriend or boyfriend in the acknowledgements of thesis? How is it received by the academia if someone thanks to his/her girlfriend/boyfriend in the acknowledgements of the thesis?  I have seen writers including his/her fiancee in the acknowledgements, however I don't know if including an informal relationship in the thesis will be received well.  If it is acceptable, how should I refer to my girlfriend? Can you intentionally fail a skill check? This comes up to me in the context of the 3.x/PF/d20 Fly skill, even when I simply read about it: Can you intentionally fail a Fly skill check, or any other skill check for that matter, if you, or your character for that matter, decides that the effects of failing the check are what is desired in the situation?  Example:  Take a a shapeshifted Draconian cruising at high altitude, with a few friends on his back who have some means of breathing air supply, whether it be mundane or magical.  Now lets say that the air supply goes kablooie, similar to a decompression or all-packs-trip in an airliner.  For the sake of the folks on his back -- if not himself, depending on if dragon forms need supplemental air to fly at such high altitudes, the Draconian has to lose altitude, and fast.  Considering that by RAW, a Fly check failure leaves yourself falling, would saying "I initiate a rapid descent" be enough to treat the next Fly check as an intentional failure, or would you have to roll a 'reverse' Fly check, where failing the check gives you the desired outcome of a rapid descent, and succeeding leaves you stuck at altitude?  P.S. I added the rules-as-written tag because a RAW answer is highly desired here, albeit not mandatory.  I can already mostly figure it out from a simulationist standpoint, but that answer involves going in-depth into airline flying and non-normal procedures. What are some important applications of the Erdős-Szekeres Theorem? Can I view the Markdown-source of an unedited question/answer? Once a post has been edited, you can go into the revision list, and click "View Source".  If a post has not been edited (and I don't have the edit privilege) is there any way to see the raw Markdown?  The reason I ask I because of  - it's impossible to see the source markdown, and how it's different from the rendered Markdown.  Not exactly a huge issue, just curious! $ echo $(( 255 )) 255 $ echo $(( 33 )) 33 $ echo $(( ~33 )) -34 $ echo $(( ~255 )) -256 $    and my kernel is:  $ uname -a Linux HOSTNAME 3.2.0-40-generic-pae #64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 25 21:44:41 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux     QUESTION: ~ is for negating the number AFAIK.

No matter how many samples I do, the lamp border always looks jagged and pixelated.  Is this a rendering error? How can I get around this issue?    And zoomed in 4x: When is the Laplace transform of a function continuous? Are there any general conditions on a function so that its Laplace transform is continuous? e.g. what conditions on $f:\mathbb {R} \rightarrow \mathbb {R}$ guarantee that its Laplace transform  $$F\left(s\right)=\int_{0}^{\infty}f\left(t\right)e^{-st}dt$$ is continuous? It seems to me that if $f$ has compact support and is bounded, then it ought to be. The idea I have is that we get  $$\left|F\left(s'\right)-F\left(s\right)\right|\leq\int_{0}^{y}\left|f\left(t\right)\right|\left|e^{-st}\right|dt$$ by making $s'$ and $s$ close enough, it seems we can make the RHS arbitrarily small. I haven't been able to complete a proof. Additionally, can we change the assumptions? Are there more natural assumptions to get continuity? I wanted to know if there is difference in terms of charging the battery when a MacBook Pro 16" is connected to two monitors via USB-C, both with Power Delivery capability.   In this specific case I am talking about the LG 27UK850-W monitors. The MacBook Pro 16" will be connected via USB-C to both of them and use them as external monitors. Since both can charge it as well, will the MacBook Pro  charge faster while being connected to both or will just one monitor be able to deliver the charge at a time? How many generator has a cyclic group of order n? Package incompatibilites: etoolbox, hyperref, and bm, standalone? I am trying to transition to using the etoolbox package, but seem to have run into some difficulties and they appear related to the hyperref and bm packages which to me seem totally unrelated.  The MWE example compiles since \RemoveEToolbox is defined and shows that there is no apparent problem before etoolbox was used.    Commenting out the \def\RemoveEToolbox{} line produces two problems:   With both the \renewcommand, and the usepackage{hyperref} commented, this results in "Runaway argument? Paragraph ended before \bm@test@token was complete". Including the usepackage{hyperref} (with \renewcommand commented) results in "Undefined control  sequence. \Call@AtVeryEndDocument ...cumentHook \@undefined"   But if uncomment the \renewcommand{\bm}{#1} line (effectively doing without any \bm), then this seems to compile.  I have been using this for a while now and things appeared to have been working fine, but now that I attempt to use etoolbox I seem to run into problems.  \documentclass{standalone} \def\RemoveEToolbox{}% Shows that this works fine without {etoolbox}  \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{xcolor} \usepackage{bm}  \ifdefined\RemoveEToolbox     \newcommand*{\iftoggle}[3]{#2}% Default to true value of "if" \else     \usepackage{etoolbox}     \newtoggle{paper}     \toggletrue{paper}      %\renewcommand{\bm}[1]{#1}% Why can't I have a normal \bm with {etoolbox}? \fi  % \usepackage{hyperref}  \begin{document}  This document is intended for  \iftoggle{paper}{paper}{electronic} distribution.  \bm{\textcolor{blue}{Solve $x^2-1=0$}}  \begin{align*}     a &amp;= b\\     \iftoggle{paper}{         c &amp;= d\\     }{}     e &amp;= f\\ \end{align*} \end{document} I have dual boot configured with Windows 7 (32bit) and Ubuntu 12.04(64bit). I installed Ubuntu after windows, now my windows is corrupt due to some virus and I need to reinstall it. Currently when I start my PC, grub loader comes up and I need to select Ubuntu or Windows.   I was wondering how can I install windows again and still have my Ubuntu install? Is there a way to do this?  I do not want to install Ubuntu again and lose my settings and data there.   Thanks, Ketan Is adjoint of singular matrix singular? What would be its rank? Let $A$ be a square and singular matrix of order $n$.  Is $\operatorname{adj}(A)$ necessarily singular? What would be the rank of $\operatorname{adj}(A)$? Examples of provably${}^n$ unprovable statements Given any statement $A$ and a classical theory $T$ which we assume is at least as strong as Peano Arithmetic ($\sf PA$), we have that $T\vdash A$ implies $T\vdash T\vdash A$ (that is, if a statement is provable, then it is provably provable). Let $T_1=T$ and $T_{n+1}=T_n+{\sf Con}(T_n)$. (We need stronger theories if we want to prove unprovability.) Given this, simply by considering the truth values of the relevant statements, we get the following classification of statements by unprovability:   $T\vdash A$ ($A$ is provable) $T_2\vdash T\not\vdash A$ ($A$ is provably unprovable) $T_3\vdash T_2\not\vdash T\not\vdash A$ ($A$ is provably unprovably unprovable)   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;...  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$\omega$. For all $n$, $T_n\not\vdash\dots \not\vdash T_2\not\vdash T\not\vdash A$ (we can't say anything about $A$'s provability)  We can refine this hierarchy by also considering the status of $\lnot A$. Let's call a class $m,n$ statement one such that $A$ is at level $m$ above and $\lnot A$ is level $n$ in the list. Since $T\vdash\lnot A$ implies $T_2\vdash T\not\vdash A$, the only nonempty classes at level $1$ are the class $1,2$ statements (provable statements) and the class $2,1$ statements (refutable statements). Independent statements are in class $2,2$. The class $1,1$ is nonempty iff the theory is inconsistent.  My question is: Are there any (preferably "natural") statements that fall further into this hierarchy? I know many examples of independent statements, like the continuum hypothesis or the axiom of choice relative to $\sf ZF$, or the Paris–Harrington theorem relative to $\sf PA$. But I know no examples of even any class $2,3$ statements. I expect there may also be natural examples of $\omega,\omega$ statements. My guess is that all the classes $m,n$ with $m,n\ne1$ are nonempty, but examples elude me. Is it possible now to use microtype with opentype fonts? Where will changes and fixes to guides and manuals for 5e be found? I'm interested in a grappler build, among others, and don't know where to look to see if the last bullet for the grappler feat has been changed. The grappler example aside, it should be useful to know for future fixes. Expressing hourly temporal recurrence What is the most idiomatic way to put into words a situation where a recurring event happens every hour at a certain minute. For example, consider that some event takes place at the tenth minute of each hour: 0:10AM, 1:10AM, 2:10AM, ...  My first ideas were "every hour at the tenth minute" or "every hour at minute 10". Are these options idiomatic and if not, what would be an idiomatic way of expressing this matter? How to align a cluster of points?
