Ah, ok, so I see one possible source of confusion for those that are thinking Scikit-learn or other standard ML packages. I don't believe that *weighted ensemble*[0] and *ensemble averaging*[1] are the same. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_event_sampling [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En

I don’t really see what the big deal is in the comic. Just someone being frustrated in their self-talk. It seems like you are being very literal. I would also drop people not wearing seatbelts to the back of the line at an ER. Or don’t even scoop them up. I don’t care if people wear seatbelts

I'm fine with anti-drunk driving laws, but against wearing-seatbelt laws. And either way, it's the crazy mentality I am most abundantly against. If you resent the existence of drunk drivers, *because* you think they are somehow forcing you to drive sober, that's really weird. Ditto if you mak

Not a bad rant, sounds like Nick´s emergent book club, but that is not the rant I was looking for. Yah, found the references the hard way. The paper from LANL was https://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.57.R13985, pretty bad job on producing the date and author name. Parallel repl

This sounds like an algorithm for parallel protein folding that I ranted about a long time ago. Start with some collection of conformations; perform many different molecular dynamics simulations from your starting points in parallel; continue with the most promising subset. As molecular dynamics

Glen, Yes, that is the kind of weighted ensemble I am thinking about. I see the algorithm as weighing the novel trajectories more heavily in the early stages of a search, but ultimately giving the *correct* stationary distribution in the limit. My list was a combination of references, dreams, and

In my ignorance, I've thought of weighted ensemble (WE) as a specific kind of novelty search. E.g. weighting toward trajectories that exhibit anomalies. Is that what you mean by it? Also, for each of the 5 you're interested in, do you have convenient example cites for each/any of them? In parti

Right. Implied in your lucid dreaming discussion is that this body-part to body-part learning *scales* down to intra-body learning. This was the point of the "thumb". The [neuronal] network that learns the patterns of the amygdala is a body part, similar to one's thumb being a body part. Non-luc
