It doesn't it repeats/generates pixels that minimize E, so the behaviour heavily depends on the choice of E. for inpainting E is the difference between their generated x and the true x but they mask out the error in the white areas. The model gets good results by just copying nearby pixels.

could you highlight which part this is ?. I think it can only fill in patterns that already exist in the image. I see a big artifact over the window but no lamp.

well, probably it is that deep (i hope) neural network inside my skull that interpreted the artifact as the lamp.

Evolutionary Algorithms are a subset of Population Based heuristics. I don't think its "souped up BS" to use the term.

People who aren't entrenched now have another service to choose from. people who are entrenched will be fought over on price and quality of service.

could you elaborate on that ?

I've never used Lyft but i think it works just like uber. this is what i found on their site

How Much Does a Lyft Ride Cost? Depends on where you’re headed and when. There is a base charge and a cost per mile and per minute, with extra added on when your pickup point is in Prime Time, which happens during higher-than-normal demand to encourage drivers to get on the road. For price estimates of rides in your city, check out the Lyft city page. Oh, and never worry about carrying cash — payment happens seamlessly through the app.

What kinds of models have you been playing around with ?

A3C for now just to replicate the results in the paper. After that, I want to investigate more geometrically motivated methods like manifold learning and see if they can be adapted to processes.

If you freeze the frame and look at the shell closely theres a trigger and stock that is warped. On the underside the fins have gun features as well.

You're going to have to back that up. This would be a clearly biased dataset.

could you elaborate on that?. They are the most popular languages for scientific computing.
