To examine the network's ability to generalize to such a situation beyond specific training scenarios, we use a L2 regularization term in the cost function and examine performance over a range of regularization strengths. In addition, we examine the nonsensical decision-making strategies that emerge in Barry at times when he has recen","authors_text":"Eve Armstrong","cross_cats":["q-bio.NC"],"headline":"","license":"http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/","primary_cat":"physics.pop-ph","submitted_at":"2017-03-30T12:59:42Z","title":"A Neural Networks Approach to Predicting How Things Might Have Turned Out Had I Mustered the Nerve to Ask Barry Cottonfield to the Junior Prom Back in 1997"},"references":{"count":0,"internal_anchors":0,"resolved_work":0,"sample":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1703.10449","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"created_at":null,"id":null,"model_set":{},"one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"pith_extraction_headline":"","strongest_claim":"","weakest_assumption":""}},"verdict_id":null}}],"author_attestations":[],"timestamp_anchors":[],"storage_attestations":[],"citation_signatures":[],"replication_records":[],"corrections":[],"mirror_hints":[],"record_created":{"event_id":"sha256:79e293ee560b1d5593b5007d7a4abdd4a3643e52ace77db8137ae20a164b79dd","target":"record","created_at":"2026-05-18T00:47:34Z","signer":{"key_id":"pith-v1-2026-05","public_key_fingerprint":"8d4b5ee74e4693bcd1df2446408b0d54","signer_id":"pith.science","signer_type":"pith_registry"},"payload":{"attestation_state":"computed","canonical_record":{"metadata":{"abstract_canon_sha256":"5c0bc04187ab33697f7f9598e52ef46f4926970f408d9f35ce995b39ab4ce202","cross_cats_sorted":["q-bio.NC"],"license":"http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/","primary_cat":"physics.pop-ph","submitted_at":"2017-03-30T12:59:42Z","title_canon_sha256":"a744511a4daab2adda165ce163634977c13ae02c654c3e2206211ac991ed3ac1"},"schema_version":"1.0","source":{"id":"1703.10449","kind":"arxiv","version":1}},"canonical_sha256":"3f71a4cbed498d17a77f709b61a570cd5915658d1693894459ec9f63bf404acb","receipt":{"algorithm":"ed25519","builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1","canonical_sha256":"3f71a4cbed498d17a77f709b61a570cd5915658d1693894459ec9f63bf404acb","first_computed_at":"2026-05-18T00:47:34.661363Z","key_id":"pith-v1-2026-05","kind":"pith_receipt","last_reissued_at":"2026-05-18T00:47:34.661363Z","public_key_fingerprint":"8d4b5ee74e4693bcd1df2446408b0d54","receipt_version":"0.3","signature_b64":"iDRWRDZtvcD/BLeCu62bpx3wjLOjCJsARJR9vx/Nx1h4gSntDC7tkmENZPZTvKBBBVtqNhUfSunbPRUImDKMDA==","signature_status":"signed_v1","signed_at":"2026-05-18T00:47:34.661979Z","signed_message":"canonical_sha256_bytes"},"source_id":"1703.10449","source_kind":"arxiv","source_version":1}}},"equivocations":[],"invalid_events":[],"applied_event_ids":["sha256:79e293ee560b1d5593b5007d7a4abdd4a3643e52ace77db8137ae20a164b79dd","sha256:9879a25d029e92af437b5b81a35270ee183e07d87c7206791a41adafc2611fb1"],"state_sha256":"e33c0b8e01c9b3b7dd90dcabf31e126f1b23c30da0de53eedcf493fbfd5cf498"}
