Are we alone? Discovering Earth-like exoplanets with Conformal Prediction (available)

Billions of exoplanets are orbiting around their stars outside our solar system [1]. But are they similar enough to our Earth so that life may have developed there? Often you can answer this question if you know the planet’s mass, radius, and orbiting period. Given the astronomic distances between us and the planets, however, you … full description “Are we alone? Discovering Earth-like exoplanets with Conformal Prediction (available)”

The complexity of Neural Networks (available)

Neural Networks (NN) are powerful learning machines that allow you to extract meaningful information from historical data. Their strengths come from their flexibility and the possibility of training them through scalable methods, e.g. stochastic gradient descent. On the other hand, since NN depend on millions of real-valued parameters, using them has a high memory and … full description “The complexity of Neural Networks (available)”
