I'm currently working on machine learning. The only problem about convolutional neural networks for this task is that even it works well against scaling, it doesn't work well with rotation (as seen in Captchas).

You need rotation-invariant feature detectors =)

ROTATE MY ANUS

What's the best trainable neural network? I wouldn't even know where to start writing an OCR (besides loading the image file) but I can solve 1000 Captchas if it means the neural net will be able to learn how to solve the rest.

As I said, convolutional neural networks are the way to go for pictures. But you should add a few rotation-invariant feature detectors as added >>13 .

How does Lush sound?
If you do research and development in signal processing, image processing, machine learning, computer vision, bio-informatics, data mining, statistics, simulation, optimization, or artificial intelligence, and feel limited by Matlab and other existing tools, Lush is for you. If you want a simple environment to experiment with graphics, video, and sounds, Lush is for you.

Lush is outdated. It was pushed by LeCun and his friends, but now he uses Torch7. I worked with this a bit, it sucked. Hard.
I prefer Octave (Matlab clone), and there's a neat Python framework tightly integrated with Numpy called Theano, that can use the GPU and do dynamic compilation. Check deeplearning.net, there are a few tutorials for logistic regression, Multi Layer Perceptron and finally, CNNs.

Intel is shit. They would be 6 feet under if IBM chose the 68k for their PC as they originally planned.

Name: Anonymous 2013-12-30 1:25

The hardest part is probably figuring out where the boundaries of the rotated/wavy/distorted characters are.

What's so good about the 68k in comparison with e.g. x86?

Name: Anonymous 2013-12-30 2:48

>>22
Today, not much except for a cleaner and simpler instruction set, but back when the PC came out it was different.
The original 68000 had 32-bit registers (x86 was 16-bit), a flat address space, could address up to 16 MB (24-bit addressing but later 32-bit, like AMD64 is 48-bit/56-bit but extensible to 64-bit, while x86 only allowed 1 MB), a cleaner instruction set, more registers (8 data and 8 address vs 4 data and 4 address), user and supervisor modes (x86 only had real mode), and more assembly addressing modes. 32-bit addressing would have eliminated the need for HIMEM, the 640 K limit, the A20 gate, and DOS extenders.
Before AMD64, x86 had "real", "286 protected", and "386 enhanced" modes but because the 68k designers chose 32-bit pointers it only had one "mode" for its entire lifetime.

Cool. You seem knowledgable about this. There were some obstacles with regards to memory virtualization and the motorolla chips vs intel? What was all that about?

Also why the simultaneous move to PowerPC by Amiga, Apple, IBM and Motorolla. Was that technical at all?

nope, edge detection is easy.
Convolution with a gradient or look the zeros of the Laplacian.

I'm not sure about Amiga, but Apple, IBM, and Motorolla did the simultaneous move because they formed the AIM alliance to develop and maintain PowerPC.

The 68000 had a bus error trap, which had to be used with a second 68k because it was unable to restart the instruction (this was fixed in the 68010, which had full virtual memory). The 8086 didn't have virtual memory at all (its segments were just segment*16+offset). The 286 had virtual memory based on multiple 64K segments and a segment not present exception (for swapping). Segmentation would cut down on buffer overflows, stack smashing, and other vulnerabilities, but isn't compatible with the Unix memory model.

Where's my premade neural net software? It's 2013. Just give us a trainable OCR already.

How about a JavaScript userscript captcha solver that automatically works on all sites containing ReCAPTCHA?

Name: surrealdeal 2013-12-31 19:31

>>32
shit never actually works; it's a variation on regressive functions. there's no 'real' 'neural nets'

you'd just come up with a new captcha that uses different font-warp functions, neural net breaks

Then you keep refreshing the CAPTCHA until you get one it can read.

And the PC would've likely not sold as well either because it would be far too expensive. No one needed that sort of capability for a PC at the time. CP/M and 8-bitters (6502, Z80) didn't start declining in popularity until the early 90s.

People bought the PC because it had the IBM name on it. They would have bought a turd if it had the IBM brand. DOS 1.0 was one of the worst OSes ever and people still bought it because it was endorsed by IBM! If IBM was as popular today as it was in 1980, they could sell a PC with LoseThos and a 640x480 CRT and get 90% of the business marketshare.

Because IBM meant dependable backwards-compatibility and stability. DOS 1.0 may have been one of the worst but it served the needs of the people at the time. It needn't be any better than that.

One thing that more evangelists and idealots need to understand: people really don't care about innovation, "better design", "elegance", whtaever. No matter how much you try to tell them to care. They just want to get shit done.

I care about understandability and run-time modifiability because I consider this essential to "getting shit done" without it taking forever. Hence my love of Common Lisp, Smalltalk and Forth (more specifically the systems these langauges facilitate(d))
