Hello Chinasa, glad to have you here. Lately, the area of quantization is beginning to gain traction in deep neural networks (DNN), what's your take on this exciting new domain and do you think the tradeoff between the marginal drop in accuracy for a reduced model size is worth it?
Also, with my experience in DNN, I noticed that most people see DNN as a one stop point to solve almost any classification or Regression tasks (This should normally not be the right thing to do, as one may be going to a stick fight with a bazooka), so my question is this, at what point do we draw the line between opting for a more traditional ML algorithm/technique or diving right into using neural nets.
I have no experience in quantization, so I won't be able to answer this well. However, I believe it is important that ML be as accessible as it possibly can be and am looking forward to seeing improvements within this domain.
I think it's totally fine to explore as many techniques as you can since you don't know what works until you try it!
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
Contributor Rankings
The Contributor Rankings shows the Top 20 Contributors on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis.
The all-time ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly score sums the score on all your insights in the past 30 days. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on TwoCents — these are community members that have engaged the most with other user's content.
