I was recently working on polynomial approximations of trained artificial neural networks. I shall finish up the project cause I finished the programming 90%, but some editors of prominent ANN journals think it’s utter crap (they didn’t say it in so many words). So it’s officially abandoned for now. I guess you have to learn to live with it. You win some, you lose some. Altough, I am disappointed at having spent a lot of time on this, at least I know one more method of how not to polynomialise neural networks. At least I had lots of fun doing it, which is what really counts in the end.
I am beginning to feel like those stupid evil villians from kids’ superhero TV shows where in each episode they try to take over the world and are defeated daily (God! it must be boring to be both – the supervillian or the superhero). I make a daily attempt at some substantial breakthrough in computer scinece, and end up helping someone in biological sciences or embedded systems or wireless protocol stuff. In the end, my work turns out to be totally worthless in CS. Oh Damn! But finally, having decided to work on BCIs, I’m soon giving up my ambitions and interests on core computational theory and stuff like that. Oh well, one must choose, and attempting to decode brain signals is much funner than decoding machine behaviour – this is more of a personal preference, so please dont take offence if you’re a big computational fanatic. I do love algorithms and all that, but I’m now going to pass out from postgraduation and it’s time I began narrowing down my energy into one area of interest.
