Mike Swarbrick Jones's personal blog at swarbrickjones.wordpress.com covers ai, programming and data. Since 2015, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 6 times, most often “Enhancing Images Using Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks”. The last post was in 2017, but the archive is still widely read.

Why HN links it

HN commenters link this blog's 2016 post on using DCGAN to fix blur in photos, and a commenter cites an earlier post on cosine similarity being invariant to rescaling of embedding columns.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

  3. > While cosine similarity is invariant under such rotations R, one of the key insights in this paper is that the first (but not the second) objective is also invariant to rescalings of the columns of A and B Ha interesting I wrote a blog post where I pointed this out a few years ago [1], and how we got around it for item-item similarity at an old job (essentially an implicit re-projection to original space as noted…
