  • umap_paper_notebooks

    Notebooks in support of the UMAP paper

  • In fairness you can run MNIST through UMAP and get near perfect seperation. I'm of the belief that you have to try pretty hard not to do well on MNIST these days.

  • hlb-CIFAR10

    Train CIFAR-10 in <7 seconds on an A100, the current world record.

  • If you'd like to play around with MNIST yourself, I wrote a PyTorch training implementation that gets ~95.45%+ in <13.6 seconds on a V100, est. < 6.5 seconds on an A100. Made to be edited/run in Colab: https://github.com/tysam-code/hlb-CIFAR10

    It's originally kitted for CIFAR10, but I've found the parameters to be quite general. The code is very easy to read and well-commented, and is a great starting place for exploration.

    Min-cut deltas to run MNIST:

    `.datasets.CIFAR10('` -> `.datasets.MNIST('` (both occurences)

  • InfluxDB

  • mnist_1_pt_2

    1.2% test error on MNIST using only least squares and numpy calls.

  • ben recht's kernel method implementation in 10 lines hits 98%

  • label-errors

    🛠️ Corrected Test Sets for ImageNet, MNIST, CIFAR, Caltech-256, QuickDraw, IMDB, Amazon Reviews, 20News, and AudioSet

  • Sadly,there are several errors in the labeled data, so no one should get 100%.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
