Zero-Sum Game

Last edited: August 8, 2025

A Zero-Sum Game happens during the following situation:

We have two distributions \(X\) and \(Y\). A “Zero-Sum Game” is a case where:

\begin{equation} P(success) = P(Y > X) \end{equation}

(because \(Y>X \implies X< Y\), so there’s no case whereby a situation can both “cause success”).

A zettlekasten is an atomic notetaking system.

Steps:

Lit notes

  • brief: < 3 sentences
  • write it in your own words

Reference notes

  • Take reference notes?

Fleeting Notes

  • shower notes

Permanent nodes

  • Go through each notes from above, think about how it matters to your research
  • Try to explicitly add value to existing ideas
  • Try to find meaningful connection between ideas

finding connections

  • How does this fit into what I know?
  • Can this be explained?

find keywords

  • not just to store a note, but how to retrieve it
  • “in which circumstance will I need this note”
  • “when and how will I need this idea”

a zettlekasten index is an index in a zettlekasten file format; it keeps track of all lists of notes. Head to Index Index for an index of indexes in this particular zettlekasten.

One-Liner

late fusion of multimodal signal on the CTP task using transformers, mobilnet, yamnet, and mockingjay

Novelty

  • Similar to Martinc 2021 and Shah 2021 but actually used the the current Neural-Network state of the art
  • Used late fusion again after the base model training
  • Proposed that inconsistency in the diagnoses of MMSE scores could be a great contributing factor to multi-task learning performance hindrance

Notable Methods

  • Proposed base model for transfer learning from text based on MobileNet (image), YAMNet (audio), Mockingjay (speech) and BERT (text)
  • Data all sourced from recording/transcribing/recognizing CTP task

Key Figs

Figure 3 and 4

This figure tells us the late fusion architecture used

Zinc is toxic in excess; so to manage Zinc is important.
