OFFICER: My apologies, sir; I meant no offence.
CARNELL: I was offensive. Why shouldn't you be?
OFFICER: Sir?
CARNELL: Give me the report. [Flips the folder open and closes it] Do you play chess?
OFFICER: A little, sir.

How Usable is Automated Feature Engineering for Tabular Data?
Tabular data, consisting of rows and columns, is omnipresent across various machine learning applications. Each column represents a feature, and features can be combined or transformed to create new, more informative features. Such feature engineering is essential to achieve peak performance in machine learning. Since manual feature engineering is expensive and time-consuming, a substantial effort has been put into automating it. Yet, existing automated feature engineering (AutoFE) methods have…

Som anarkosyndikalist finner jeg stor inspirasjon i det Norsk Syndikalistisk Forbund (NSF-IAA) har stått for helt siden stiftelsen i desember 1916. Forbundet har fra begynnelsen representert en tydelig og kompromisslŸs tradisjon innen arbeiderbevegelsen, der prinsippene om selvorganisering, solidaritet og direkte aksjon har stått i sentrum.
NSF-IAA har gjennom mer enn hundre år vært en stemme for en fagbevegelse som ikke underordner seg partipolitikk eller byråkratiske strukturer, men …

« Tous se préparent Š l’après-thermique. »
This post by the Brussels DSO features a nice neologism.
One third of capacity increase requests by non-residential users in the Brussels region are for EV charging. In my opinion, this also suggests a huge potential for smarter energy management.

Pourquoi les entreprises bruxelloises demandent-elles plus de #puissance électrique ? | Sibelga
Pourquoi les entreprises bruxelloises demandent-elles plus de #puissance électrique ? La réponse tient en 2 mots : mobilité électrique ! Chaque jour, nous recevons des demandes de renforcement du réseau. Et dans plus d'1/3 des cas, c’est pour installer des #bornes de recharge pour véhicules électriques. Les Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc, la prison de Haren, le site Mercedes… Tous se préparent à l’après-thermique. Chez Sibelga, la transition vers une mobilité durable et…

AFABench: A Generic Framework for Benchmarking Active Feature Acquisition
In many real-world scenarios, acquiring all features of a data instance can be expensive or impractical due to monetary cost, latency, or privacy concerns. Active Feature Acquisition (AFA) addresses this challenge by dynamically selecting a subset of informative features for each data instance, trading predictive performance against acquisition cost. While numerous methods have been proposed for AFA, ranging from greedy information-theoretic strategies to non-myopic reinforcement learning appro…

I decided to test it out by posting this image on TikTok, and it reached almost 1K views in less than 24 hours.
I don’t plan on using TikTok long-term and might even remove this upload, but I just wanted to try it out with some Norwegian hashtags.

iPadOS 26: Fast ein Mac – aber nur fast
Apple gönnt seinem Tablet mehr Desktop-Features als je zuvor. In der Praxis gibt es aber zumindest in der Beta noch Fußangeln.

LYE: I joined up to see some action.
PAR: More fool you.
LYE: You've been on campaigns, Par.
PAR: I have.
LYE: Done a lot of killing.
PAR: Enough. More. [Bercol and Rontane make their way around the corridor.]
