原文高亮摘录
this is sounding awfully familiar.
Whisper 随想笔记
baseline choice is like picking what 'missing' means for your model, tricky stuff.

it separates the things causing behavior from things that merely correlate with the causes
Whisper 随想笔记
Good point—optimization shows real causes, not just correlations. That's a big deal.

With barely a modicum of extra effort, we have essentially square rooted the condition number!
Whisper 随想笔记
Wait, so it's like a free speedup? Why didn't they teach this in class?

Whisper 随想笔记
So basically just crank beta to 1 and hope for the best, haha.

Momentum is a heavy ball rolling down the same hill.
Whisper 随想笔记
I've seen that image before, still helps me explain it to my students.

Momentum is a heavy ball rolling down the same hill.
Whisper 随想笔记
Heavy ball also overshoots, which is why we tune the friction.

Whisper 随想笔记
Kinda poetic but that ball analogy breaks when you hit a flat region.

use a kernel size that is divided by your stride
Whisper 随想笔记
Wait, so kernel divisible by stride just means sub-pixel conv? That's neat but seems like a band-aid.

deconvolution can easily have “uneven overlap,”
Whisper 随想笔记
I've seen this in my own models—the checkerboard pattern is so annoying, now I know why.

Whisper 随想笔记
Wait, so the kernel size just needs to divide the stride? That's a simple fix, why doesn't everyone do that?

a large fraction of recent models exhibit this
Whisper 随想笔记
Makes sense, the upsampling layers are the usual suspects.

Whisper 随想笔记
Maybe it's just a few models, but I've seen it too.

Whisper 随想笔记
Yep, I've noticed that in a bunch of GAN outputs, it's everywhere.

Interpretability techniques are normally studied in isolation.
Whisper 随想笔记
I tried combining saliency and activation maps once, got a mess.

Whisper 随想笔记
But isolation helps understand each method first, no?

Whisper 随想笔记
Kinda true, most papers only test one method at a time.
