Today, I searched for the exact title "Bayesian regularisation and pruning using a Laplace prior". This is not the first time that I noticed such Semantic Scholar search failures on trivial spelling variations.
Google Scholar found it immediately and returned the correct paper and title as the first search result. GS recognized that the s in regularisation should be a z.
Semantic Scholar completely failed on this search. This is quite amateurish at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century!
Since I have been studying AI & machine learning at a high age a few years ago, I have been faced again with refreshing my math and statistics comprehension since I studied economics. Math was never my forte, but I love it! It is a very fascinating abstract and logical science very much to my liking!
I think one of the major obstacles to learn math more quickly and better is the lack of a rigorous, international, and universal standardization of notation and symbols used in representing mathematical concepts etc..
I would also postulate that the current language/notation of mathematics is more suitable for rote learners than for non rote learners (e.g. meaningful or associative learners). Thus, the latter are disadvantaged in the field of mathematics or they may not even bother. Thus, if my postulate has some relevance, then the progress or advance of mathematics is seriously impeded.
I also noticed there are only a few websites out there dedicated to explain mathematics in a straight forward way: e.g. Encyclopedia of Math (quite abstract and verbose) and Wolfram Mathworld (a better website for my purposes)
I also think the current traditional and mostly used notation with a centuries old history is not of great help. Greek or Latin letters is all very nice and a compliment of those great mathematicians that came before. Single symbol notation is surely parsimonious, but perhaps also ambiguous and constraining! Why e.g. not use acronyms that most people can associate much better? The immense strive for compactness and abstractness of notation is an obsession!
This practice of notation requires probably most people to do extreme mental acrobatics to follow the whims of mathematicians! This is unnecessary! It is still almost like the language of witchcraft, mystics, or alchemists! A more universal and better developed language would possibly serve better to advance mathematics! When only a few people can really understand what mathematicians or other scientists are expressing than this is a problem! The effort to learn this arcane language are a serious obstacle!
Too many times long mathematical expressions are very repetitive and you have to look very close what term has actually changed from one line to the next. This is totally unnecessary and causes clutter! Instead of using e.g more acronyms or other short forms to replace repetitive terms.
Authors of research studies, book chapters, and books frequently and quite often dramatically change the meaning of notation within a few pages or from chapter to chapter. Often these changes look quite arbitrary and ad hoc. Inconsistency of these changes is another serious issue. Very often you also find the reuse of the same math symbols within pages of each other for very different purposes.
Some authors also like to excuse or admit these change by saying something like with a little abuse of notation.
There is also a strange dichotomy: In mostly theoretical papers, adequate, brief numerical examples are left out almost by default as if it was a plague or too demeaning for a theoretician to be bothered with! Occasionally hints or references to textbooks or tutorials are provided.
It would be highly recommendable that every paper, chapter etc. is preceded with a section summarizing the notation/nomenclature etc. being used with some explanations! Instead, usually scholars seem to make up the notation in their papers as they go.
In short, it is the greatest global scam in decades deliberately perpetrated and supported by many of our elites, politicians etc.
It is the massive man made manipulation and cherry picking of scientific data and forecasts!
It is the great pretense of knowledge by many scientists while our relevant knowledge and understanding of the highly complex phenomenon of climate is still very insufficient and incomplete. Pseudoscience dominates in many aspects regarding the Globale Warming hoax and Climate Change religion!
What if most of the climate change is of natural origin! There is little or no evidence to proof otherwise! That we have much more and better data today than ever before is not sufficient!
The cure is worse than the disease fully applies here! Human folly and ignorance at its best!
It is the great pretext and lie to impose big government at the expense of individual liberty! What communism, socialism, and other collectivism ideologies in the 20th century did not achieve, this successor ideology has made much more progress! Today's ideologues and demagogues have learnt from past mistakes!
This is the meaning of anthropogenic in this context!

The threat of total destruction of infrastructure and more!
Would the Communist Party of China risk to invade or conquer the island when the people of Taiwan are committed to destroy everything to return to the stone age?
Maybe one day we will learn whether Taiwan actually has threatened China with such an option! A chapter in human history waiting to be written!
My greatest wish for 2023!
What is taking so long to even prepare to convene this international war crimes tribunal? The preliminaries should have long started! Such a tribunal would be a strong weapon against warmongers like Putin the Terrible!
Human civilization has to set an example for future generations that such a war of aggression against a country will not be tolerated anymore! Dictators and warmongers like Putin the Terrible and his enablers have to realize there will be consequences!
Dictator Xi Jinping are you listening! Stay out of Taiwan!
Let the international war crimes tribunal against Putin the Terrible and his accomplices begin immediately, preferably in Nuremberg, Germany! (in absentia or not)
Do it like New York candidate George Santos by claiming to be anything that potential voters may like in a Representative!
Obviously, his candidacy (if the allegations are confirmed) turns out to be a farce and potentially further damaging American confidence in democracy!
What is notable that this impostor ran as a Republican! Was this done intentional to smear the Republican Party? For fame and fortune?
Given all his lies (a.k.a. embellishments) it was impossible that he would not be caught very quickly especially running as a Republican candidate in New York!
I recently watched an interview with him on YouTube hosted by Tulsi Gabbard (sitting in for Tucker Carlson). Mr. Santos came across as quite phony!
Or did he does this to expose the weakness of elections in America?
Something smells fishy here!
Caveat: I did not have the time to look deeper into this affair!
Time flies faster when you get older! I can tell now after I realized for the first time in my life that the years ahead are fewer than the years behind. Or is this only just my imagination running away with me? Temptations!
What did you miss in your life? What are your priorities for the now shorter future? What is your pursuit of happiness going to be like?
However, if I make it long enough I may have a chance to benefit from the ongoing rapid and substantial progress in scientific longevity research and treatments! Biding my time and keeping at bay the many charlatans who promise you a longer and healthier life for your money!
Will I die in peace and happy! Or will there be agony at the end? My choice, my destiny!
One of those frequently used and abused ideological buzz words of our times! It is perfect for propaganda and demagoguery!
Egalitarians love and worship it!
Equity is in the eye of the beholder like beauty! It gives authoritarians lots of discretion, power, and control!
It is prone to ambiguity, vagueness, and liberal interpretation!
If you notice anyone using this term, your alarm bells should go off immediately! Caution! Beware of the charmer!
Caution: Indecency! Comedian gusset gripper Elaine Miller flashes a wig in protest! She also likes to talk about vagina health and other topics!
In her own in protest yelled words in the Scottish parliament:
"If this parliament will not respect the rights of women then you have no decency."And if you will not be decent then I will be indecent." (Source)
