![]() ![]() A Wedding at Hedgehog Hollow (book 4 in the series).The countdown is on and it ends at 11:59 pm on Sunday 11th December. Still, it’s better to have a messy manuscript to edit than no manuscript at all, right?Īnyway, because I have a miracle to pull out of the bag before tomorrow night, this is just a very quick stop by to let the Audible fans among you know that a whopping THREE of my books are on the 2 for 1 credit sale on Audible UK which started today. ![]() ![]() My poor editor has already been warned that the words will be there but they may be a jumbled mess full of typos and plot holes as I won’t have had the chance to read it at all. I’ve written nearly 40k words of it in the last week, bringing my word count up to 77.5k so far but there’s still a long way to go. I have a submission deadline tomorrow evening on Summer Nights at The Starfish Café and am way behind where I’d ideally be. Hi there, and a warm (or should that be cold?) welcome to December? Have you put the tree up yet? I’d normally have done it this weekend but I can’t. ![]()

![]() ![]() Logistic regression on learned features (linear probe) As further proof, features from the model achieve state-of-the-art performance on a number of classification datasets and near state-of-the-art unsupervised accuracy on ImageNet. This is evidenced by the diverse range of coherent image samples it generates, even without the guidance of human provided labels. When we train GPT-2 on images unrolled into long sequences of pixels, which we call iGPT, we find that the model appears to understand 2-D image characteristics such as object appearance and category. ![]() ![]() Transformer models like BERT and GPT-2 are domain agnostic, meaning that they can be directly applied to 1-D sequences of any form. Our work aims to understand and bridge this gap. However, the same broad class of models has not been successful in producing strong features for image classification. Recently, it has seen incredible success in language, as transformer models like BERT, GPT-2, RoBERTa, T5, and other variants have achieved top performance on a wide array of language tasks. Unsupervised and self-supervised learning, or learning without human-labeled data, is a longstanding challenge of machine learning. ![]() ![]() ![]() And Emmett will face the ultimate choice: win the fortune at any cost, or find a way to fight that won’t forever compromise what it means to be human.

It belongs to the Young Adult Fantasy genre with some Science Fiction. I have given Nyxia by Scott Reintgen a ☆☆☆☆ rating. ![]() ![]() But, because English is not my native sometimes he spoke too fast for me especially when doing the voices of Will and Phoebe, and it was kind of annoying to have to adjust the speed of reproduction all the time. The mystery part is solved by the end of the book, but the romance was left in a cliffhanger.Ĭornell Collins is a new to me narrator and I really enjoyed all his voices and accents. Charles' writing is excellent, the characters likable even while I was actively wanting to strangle them (Kim for being a bastard, Will for his pigheadedness - but if they weren't that way where would be the fun?), the setting was a period in history I don't think I ever read about in romance (shortly after WWI ended) so it was new and fun, and the plot was a very engaging mystery/thriller. ![]() This was a book I didn't know I was in the mood for right now. This time around I had less trouble with Cornell Collins' voice too.Īfter reading a few reviews, I waited for the final book to come out before starting this series - and I'm glad I did. ![]() ![]() ![]() Charles' writing is superb as always and the fact I already read the book once did nothing to lessen my enjoyment of it - I think I even enjoyed it more because the characters were already familiar. ![]() ![]() Born of a forbidden, mixed blood litter, and abandoned by her mother, Kaala struggled to earn her place in the Swift River pack. ![]() In Promise of the Wolves and Secrets of the Wolves, Kaala came to understand her role.
