Fun coincidence (or maybe not?), I just stumbled upon the following paper on arvix titled "Differentially Private Generative Adversarial Network" https://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.06739v1.pdf

Its Related Work section also references some works on "differentially private learning in neural network".

While the paper does not discuss directly OP remark about how differential privacy could help generality in machine learning, it shows that at least some connections exist between the domains.

Ha very nice!

I made a vary similar (but much rougher around the edges) project for fun a few months ago using a smaller french corpus of press releases from La Quadrature du Net (a non-profit lobbying for net neutrality in France and Europe).

There is a live demo at http://jorquera.net/quadra_neural/. You can press tab to auto-complete word-by-word, or just start typing and the suggestions update on the fly. Instead of "Weirdness" I called my cursor "Drunkenness" :)

I used keras-js (https://github.com/transcranial/keras-js) to run my model in the browser.

If you are interested in this kind of experiments, do go for it! It's quite accessible, and projects of this scale do not require heavy hardware (I generated my models using a GTX 770).

If you need a kickstart, in addition to the repo from the OP all the code for my project is Free Software (https://github.com/tomjorquera/quadra_neural), and I tried to document the generation process in a jupyter notepad https://github.com/tomjorquera/quadra_neural/blob/master/gen.... While I did it on a french corpus, it should work with any language.

I used two main resources for inspiration :

- http://karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/

- https://github.com/fchollet/keras/blob/master/examples/lstm_...

fyi: you can shorten ""ip link set $device up"" to "ip l s $device up" (same for all ip commands, e.g. "ip address" can be shortened to "ip addr" or simply "ip a")

I agree with you that emacs org-mode is definitely not very graphical !

Regarding non-hierarchical information organization however, keep in mind that this article was only a very quick intro to the most basic possibilities of org-mode.

Org-mode actually provides a pretty powerful set of non-hierarchical structuring functionalities by using tags.

Within org-mode you can add arbitrary tags to your items, you can define custom sets of tags for auto-completion, you can get a filtered view based on a tag search across multiple documents and so on (see for example http://sachachua.com/blog/2008/01/tagging-in-org-plus-bonus-...).

In addition to tags, org-mod provides a second similar mechanism with properties (searchable key/value pairs annotations to your items).

So org-mode definitely does not restrict you to a hierarchical organization. It is a very cool tool box that, coupled with the programmability of emacs, offers a lot of flexibility to adapt to your own way to do things.
