Thou Shalt Not Overfit Venting my spleen about the persistent inanity about overfitting.

Overfitting, as it is colloquially described in data science and machine learning, doesn’t exist. www.argmin.net/p/thou-shalt...

Flavors of overfitting Contextual overfitting and the Soviet Tank Problem

Many still believe in overfitting. Here’s a post trying to pin down what they mean and reach some common ground. www.argmin.net/p/flavors-of...

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

Mitigating errors in logical qubits Communications Physics - Quantum error correction produces an enormous amount of data about the quantum system, including information about whether an uncorrectable error is likely. In this work...

Post selection in QEC is not cheating 🤣, but can be scalable and significantly reduce your resources overheads! Check out our newly published paper in @commsphys.bsky.social rdcu.be/d1LuM, a great collab with Sam Smith and @benbrown.bsky.social @sydneyphysics.bsky.social

Join the Portuguese quantum hackathon PQhack in Porto, on Feb. 8-9, supported by U. Coimbra, U. Porto, and Pasqal. Teams of size 2-4 can compete, prizes (and fun) to be had! Registration deadline is Jan. 15. For more info: pqhack.org
