Read more about it here. 1 Next announcement Stay tuned for our next announcement on Monday, April 22. REAL has invested significantly in new entertainment options this year to enhance the event, attract out-of-town visitors to Regina, and celebrate Saskatchewan and its diversity. About 98 Degrees In five short years — from 1997 to 2002 — 98 Degrees, which includes Jeff Timmons, Justin Jeffre and brothers Nick and Drew Lachey sold a staggering 10 million records with chart toppers like “Because of You,” “I Do,” “The Hardest Thing,” and “Give Me Just One Night.” The group emerged at a time when teen-oriented acts like The Spice Girls, The Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC were just hitting the top of the charts around the world. They differentiated themselves from many of the other teen bands at the time as they wrote much of their own material, which reflected their own R&B influences. The group headlined their own, 38-city trek in the summer of 2016. The My2K Tour, which also included O-Town, Dream and Ryan Cabrera, played to sell-out or near-capacity crowds at venues like the prestigious Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and the 5000-seat Coney Island Amphitheater in New York City. Website | iTunes | Spotify | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram About O-Town O-Town’s story began in 1999, when TV network ABC produced the very first musical reality show in major network history. “Making the Band” was produced in conjunction with Lou Pearlman, creator of both the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC . The show chronicled the creation, development and rise to success of O-Town throughout three seasons of the series. The group became the first to be signed by Clive Davis to his label, J Records and released two full-length albums, which included #1 singles “Liquid Dreams” and “All or Nothing”. The latter of which was nominated for “Song of the Year” at the Radio Music Awards in 2001. Reunited in 2014 as a four-piece crew following the departure of member Ashley Parker Angel, band members Jacob Underwood, Trevor Penick, Dan Miller and Erik-Michael Estrada released their third studio album, “Lines & Circles” and set out on a national tour for the first time in 10 years in support of the album. They spent the summer of 2016 on the MY2K Tour with artists 98 Degrees, Ryan Cabrera and Dream.

  • Estimating Training Data Influence by Tracing Gradient Descent
    Estimating Training Data Influence by Tracing Gradient Descent Garima∗ Frederick Liu* Satyen Kale Google Google Google [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Mukund Sundararajan y Google [email protected] Abstract We introduce a method called TracIn that computes the influence of a training example on a prediction made by the model. The idea is to trace how the loss on the test point changes during the training process whenever the training example of interest was utilized. We provide a scalable implementation of TracIn via: (a) a first-order gradient approximation to the exact computation, (b) saved checkpoints of standard training procedures, and (c) cherry-picking layers of a deep neural network. In contrast with previously proposed methods, TracIn is simple to implement; all it needs is the ability to work with gradients, checkpoints, and loss functions. The method is general. It applies to any machine learning model trained using stochastic gradient descent or a variant of it, agnostic of architecture, domain and task. We expect the method to be widely useful within processes that study and improve training data. Code is available at [1]. 1 Motivation Deep learning has been used to solve a variety of real-world problems. A common form of machine learning is supervised learning, where the model is trained on labelled data. Controlling the training data input to the model is one of the main quality knobs to improve the quality of the deep learning model. For instance, such a technique could be used to identify and fix mislabelled data using the workflow described in Section 4.1.

  • Conclusion: Popular Music, Aesthetic Value, and Materiality
    CONCLUSION: POPULAR MUSIC, AESTHETIC VALUE, AND MATERIALITY Popular music has been accused of being formulaic, homogeneous, man- ufactured, trite, vulgar, trivial, ephemeral, and so on. These condemna- tions have roots in aspects of the Western aesthetic tradition, especially its modernist and expressivist branches, according to which great art innovates, breaks and re-makes the rules, expresses the artist’s personal vision or unique emotions, or all these. Popular music has its defenders. But they have tended to appeal to the same inherited aesthetic criteria, defending some branches of popular music at the expense of others― valorising its artistic, expressive, innovative, or authentic branches against mere ‘pop’. These evaluations are problematic, because they presuppose all along a set of criteria that are slanted against the popular fi eld. We therefore need new frameworks for the evaluation of popular music. These frameworks need to enable us to evaluate pieces of popular music by the standards proper to this particular cultural form―to judge how well these pieces work as popular music, not how successfully they rise above the popular condition. To devise such frameworks we need an account of popular music’s standard features and of the further organising qualities and typical val- ues to which these features give rise. Popular music normally has four layers of sound―melody, chords, bass, and percussion―and each layer is normally made up of repetitions of short elements, these repeti- tions being aligned temporally with one another, with whole sections of repeated material then being repeated in turn to constitute song sections. © The Author(s) 2016 249 A.
