I am surprised this paper received so little attention. It dramatically reduces RAM requirements for very big #statistical #generalizedlinearmodels while offering #computational speed ups ~x500. A #recommender system used it in a #neuralnetwork with #tensorflow to get substantial time & memory savings.

Languages with #array/ #tensor features should take note, as this is a serious contender to sparse matrix computations #datascience #machinelearning

I wonder if anyone has bothered to look into the mathematics of #recommendersystems , because it is really embarrassing that papers with with 0000s of citations end up mapping to some very banal conventional #statistical models.
OTH, the latter have missed tremendous opportunities to entrench themselves (and create job opportunities for statisticians) by forgetting special cases that powered applications before the era of cheap computing that started in the 1980s.
It is #pagerank all over again

@RebelGeek99 The real Q is whether tensorflow can be convinced to fit regular #statistical models without the notational baggage of #machinelearning , or its numerical estimation garbage (component wise gradient descent is very slow, even with a very recent proposal https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.06324 to accelerate it). We left this as an extension of our evaluation of repeated observations in electronic health record #EHR https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8310602/ data. Wished I had time to visit this prospect.

"Two fundamental properties of interactions are often overlooked during the process of analysing interactions between drivers: the measurement scale and the symmetry. Overlooking these properties can lead to three inferential errors"

The ASA statement is intended to steer research into a ‘post p<0.05 era.’”
