Printed | Page Chapter 3, page 101 Paragraph 2 following the code chunk |
The text states the previous code chunk using a SVC used OvO strategy, training 45 binary classifiers. However, we can see the length of the decision function scores is 10. Thus an OvR strategy is used. This is consistent with scikit-learn documentation which states the default strategy is OvR. |

After Equation 4-16 it is stated „This cost function makes sense because -log(t) grows very large when t approaches 0, so the cost will be large if the model estimates a probability close to 0 [..]“ |

According to the mentioned reference paper (https://homl.info/59), it should rather be max(β2s, |∇θJ(θ)|) than max(β2s,∇θJ(θ)), step 5 becoming θ ← θ − ηm^⊘√(s^) (or θ ← θ + ηm^⊘√(s^) to remain consistent with Equation 11-8). |

A small detail for text consistency in the page: in "p.result()", "p.variables" and "p.reset_states()", "p" should be replaced by "precision" (as it is in the notebook). |

It's written: "The API will also include a keras.layers.Discretization layer that will chop continuous data into different bins and encode each bin as a one-hot vector.". Actually, according to the Keras API Reference, the one-hot encoding is done only if you set the output_mode argument to "one_hot" or "multi_hot", which is not the default. |

In this bullet point, you said that YOLOv3 outputs 45 numbers per grid cell - 5 bounding boxes times 4 coordinates plus 5 objectness scores plus 20 class probabilities, but this is true only for YOLOv1 where each grid cell was able to find only one object - which is pretty straightforward because we have only one set of class probabilities. Since YOLOv2 the class probabilities are decoupled from a single grid cell, here is the quote from YOLOv2 paper which is also valid for YOLOv3 because nothing changed in this topic: |
