Demystifying Typicality
A gas prepared in a non-equilibrium state will approach equilibrium and stay there. An influential contemporary approach to Statistical Mechanics explains this behaviour in terms of typicality. However, this explanation has been criticised as mysterious as long as no connection with the dynamics of the system is established. We take this criticism as our point of departure. Our central claim is...
متن کاملDemystifying Dilation
Dilation occurs when upper and lower probability estimates of some event E are properly included in the upper and lower probability estimates of the probability of E conditional on another event F , resulting in a change from a more precise estimate of E to a less precise estimate of E upon learning F . Strict dilation occurs when E is dilated by every event in a partition, which means that som...
متن کاملDemystifying ResNet
The Residual Network (ResNet), proposed in He et al. (2015a), utilized shortcut connections to significantly reduce the difficulty of training, which resulted in great performance boosts in terms of both training and generalization error. It was empirically observed in He et al. (2015a) that stacking more layers of residual blocks with shortcut 2 results in smaller training error, while it is n...
متن کاملDemystifying mentalities
This latest book by Geoffrey Lloyd continues his exploration into the origins of Greek scientific thought. In it he examines the concept of "mentalities" as an explanation for the peculiar development of medicine, mathematics, and science in early Greece, as well as a description of the thought-processes of primitive and less primitive societies. In both respects he finds it seriously flawed. I...
متن کاملDemystifying MapReduce
Recent innovations in Big Data have enabled major strides forward in our ability to glean important insights from massive amounts of data, and to use these insights to make better decisions. Underlying many of these innovations is a computational paradigm known as MapReduce, which enables computational processes to be scaled up to very large sizes and to take advantage of cloud computing. While...
