Benchmarks based on neural networks libraries to compare the performance between different GPUs (self.MachineLearning) I've been looking for something like this for quite some time. One way might just be to compile across framework-wise benchmarks? Anyone else have some links? A docker image with a standardized test set is probably a good idea.

I just completed a take home assessment as part of the interview process for a company. I was told I didn't pass because my answer lacked proper training and test sets The data set consisted of a mix of categorical and numerical predictors, with the dependent variable being a numerical variable. I then removed all rows with NA values and generated boxplots for each predictor. For one variable, I replaced all of its outliers with the median. For some other variables that indicated percentage values, I did not remove the outliers because they did not seem like obvious outliers (for example, the boxplot showed that values greater than .1 were outliers, but all of those outliers still ranged from 0 to 1 so I didn't think they were typos) I then ran a Lasso linear regression model.

Race, religion and terrorism: In the prescient 2015 drama "Bars and Measures" at the Theatre @ Boston Court in Pasadena, playwright Idris Goodwin hits the trifecta of incendiary headline topics, overlaid with rich musical inflections. In the captivating opener, music takes center stage as two men seated across a table launch into an intricate skat and bebop routine. Through the efficiently crafted dialogue that follows, we learn they are brothers who hold opposing faiths. And the reason this performance is a cappella: Inmates are not permitted musical instruments. Loosely based on a 2005 domestic anti-terrorism case, the play has classically-trained pianist Eric (Donathan Walters), a Christian, visiting his imprisoned brother Bilal (Matt Orduña), a stellar jazz upright bassist and converted Muslim who's been arrested in a sting operation.

Walt Disney Studios is returning to its storied vault yet again to adapt one of its popular animated titles into a live-action movie. On Tuesday, the studio announced that it would release a new version of "Mulan," a musical about a young woman who disguises herself as a man so she can enlist in the army. The original film, which was released in 1998, grossed 304 million worldwide. Disney has begun to transform a number of its beloved cartoons into live-action films over the past few years. Both the princess tales "Maleficent" and "Cinderella" clicked with audiences, and a remake of musical "The Jungle Book" was a massive hit, collecting nearly a billion dollars worldwide earlier this year.

Google has unveiled its hotly-anticipated new Pixel smartphones, which are branded with the Google logo on the back. The new glass and aluminum phones come with Google Assistant included, a made-by-Google artificially-intelligent assistant that can do things like make dinner reservations through OpenTable. The devices come in two sizes, 5 and 5.5 inches, and are available immediately for pre-order, Google said. "While Pixel's beautiful, what really makes it come to life is how the hardware and software work together," Rick Osterloh, senior vice president of Google's hardware division, said at the San Francisco event, during which they heavily emphasized the importance of the Google Assistant. The Pixel phones will come in three colors, which Google calls "quite black," "very silver" and "really blue."

Looking to drum up consumer excitement, the tech company hosted an event San Francisco on Tuesday to unveil a series of products, including two new phones, a virtual reality headset and the Chromecast Ultra. The flagship announcement was the introduction of Pixel, the first Google phone to carry exclusively Google branding. The company called it the "first phone made by Google inside and out." The device is poised to take on the iPhone with a built-in artificially intelligent assistant, 4K video and other bells and whistles. Here's a closer look at everything you need to know: Google (GOOG) announced a new Pixel line of phones -- the 5-inch Pixel ( 649) and 5.5-inch Pixel XL ( 769).

Google Home, Amazon Echo's rival, will be available on Nov. 4 for 129, which is less than the Echo, which sells for 179. CEO Sundar Pichai said during its hardware event that "the goal is to build a personal Google for each and every user." Google Home works just like the Echo. It has built-in microphones that can listen to voice commands, can control smart home devices, play your favorite music and answer any questions you have using the "OK, Google" voice command. Compared to Amazon's Echo, Google Home is touch-sensitive and can be used to change the volume or play music that is playing.

Although HTC has manufactured the smartphones, the new device bears Google branding. With curved sculpted edges and a unibody made up of combination of aerospace grade aluminum and glass, the device comes in two sizes -- 5 and 5.5-inch with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protected super AMOLED display. Pixel is available in two -- quite black and very silver colors in India.

In what may be one of the year's easiest renewal decisions, FX announced Tuesday that "American Horror Story" would return for a seventh season in 2017. The horror anthology series from co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk has won 15 Emmy Awards, and its latest iteration -- "American Horror Story: Roanoke" -- has seen a 25% leap in audience over Season 5 -- "American Horror Story: Hotel" -- growing to 6.89 million viewers from 5.52 million.

And even if you're not quite ready to get a 4K TV, there are already a whole host of 4K-capable streaming devices that will set you up for years down the line. While the latest Apple TV still isn't 4K-ready, you can already get ahead of the game with new devices from Roku, Amazon, and now Google, which just announced the Chromecast Ultra. The Chromecast Ultra was just announced, but it will be available soon for 69. It supports 4K and HDR video, as well as all the major streaming apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Vudu. As with previous Chromecasts, it doesn't feature its own remote, but instead you pull apps up on your phone and simply hit the "Cast" icon to tell the Chromecast to get that content and display it on your screen. The new Chromecast will connect to an HDMI port on the back of your TV so it will generally stay out of the way, though this is the first Chromecast to support wired internet for better quality streaming.
