LM101-086: Ch8: How to Learn the Probability of Infinitely Many Outcomes

This 86th episode of Learning Machines 101 discusses the problem of assigning probabilities to a possibly infinite set of outcomes in a space-time continuum which characterizes our physical world. Such a set is called an “environmental event”. The machine learning algorithm uses information about the frequency of environmental events to support learning. If we want to study statistical machine learning, then we must be able to discuss how to represent and compute the probability of an environmental event. It is essential that we have methods for communicating probability concepts to other researchers, methods for calculating probabilities, and methods for calculating the expectation of specific environmental events. This episode discusses the challenges of assigning probabilities to events when we allow for the case of events comprised of an infinite number of outcomes. Along the way we introduce essential concepts for representing and computing probabilities using measure theory mathematical tools such as sigma fields, and the Radon-Nikodym probability density function. Near the end we also briefly discuss the intriguing Banach-Tarski paradox and how it motivates the development of some of these special mathematical tools.

[watchilove]

In this crowning expression of the ties binding H. Moser & Cie. and MB&F for more than ten years, Edouard Meylan and Maximilian Büsser have composed a duet recital in the form of an exceptional concerto for devotees of fine watchmaking. For the first time in its history, MB&F is contributing to a Performance Art endeavour flowing in both directions in an entirely reciprocal manner. Within this framework, the two Maisons are co-signing a pair of creations whose DNA blends the main characteristics of each. A story of friendship between two men against a backdrop of shared values, for the pleasure of building and sharing, and then of jointly presenting the results of this extraordinary project.

Project Origins

H. Moser & Cie. and MB&F are both independent, human-scale Swiss companies. They are run by two passionate personalities, longstanding acquaintances who both appreciate and respect each other on both a personal and professional level. The brands have in fact been working together for more than ten years, with Precision Engineering AG – a sister company of H. Moser & Cie. – notably supplying MB&F’s balance springs.

Maximilian Büsser and Edouard Meylan

It is therefore not surprising that MB&F asked Edouard Meylan to take part as a „friend“ to help create a Performance Arts piece. The latest aspect of this collaboration lies in its being a two-way street. Maximilian Büsser says: „When I called Edouard to tell him that I wanted to collaborate on a creation, I mentioned that I really liked the double balance-spring, the Moser fumé dials and the Concept watch series. Edouard immediately told me that he would let me borrow these features, but on condition that he could also reinterpret one of my machines. After an initial moment of surprise, I gave it some thought. Being 50% Indian and 50% Swiss, I am firmly convinced that mixing DNA creates interesting results, so why not try the experiment in watchmaking? I therefore agreed and suggested the FlyingT model, which is particularly dear to my heart.“

In a spirit of sharing and openness, while cultivating the notion of strength in unity, H. Moser & Cie. and MB&F have thus jointly created two models, available in several versions and issued in 15-piece limited series. This number is a nod to the 15th anniversary of MB&F as well as honouring the 15th anniversary of the relaunch of H. Moser & Cie. By pooling their strengths, these two competing yet friendly brands are working to harness the combined strengths of talented artisans, entirely in keeping with the philosophy adopted by MB&F.

Endeavour Cylindrical Tourbillon H. Moser × MB&F

H. Moser & Cie. has borrowed from MB&F the concept of three-dimensional movements, a strong element of the Geneva Maison’s identity, protected by a sapphire dome and featuring a one-minute flying tourbillon that rises above the main dial through a ventricular opening appearing at 12 o’clock. Benefiting from the expertise of its sister company Precision Engineering AG, H. Moser & Cie. has equipped its tourbillon with a cylindrical balance spring, the same as that developed by Precision Engineering AG for MB&F’s LM Thunderdome.

Invented in the 18th century, the cylindrical balance spring is reminiscent of a worm- or corkscrew, rising perpendicularly around the upper rod of the balance staff. Commonly used in historical marine chronometers at the time, it offers the advantage of developing concentrically, and therefore geometrically, since it works perfectly along the axis of its pivots. This gives it a significant advantage over the flat balance spring, whose opposite ends tend to exert forces on the pivots, despite the Philips or Breguet terminal curves which were specifically developed to partially correct the non-concentric opening of the balance spring.

Fitted with a Breguet overcoil at both attachment points, the cylindrical balance spring reduces pivot friction and greatly improves isochronism. Due to its specific shape, the cylindrical balance spring is far more difficult to produce and takes ten times longer to make than a traditional balance spring.

Another reference to MB&F’s identity lies in the tilted dials, which H. Moser & Cie. has adopted for its hour and minute subdial. This is inclined at 40° so that the owner of the watch is the only one to whom it reveals the secret of time, and mounted on a conical gear train ensuring optimal torque transmission from one plane to the other.

As Edouard Meylan explains: „We have Moserized the MB&F universe by developing a sapphire subdial, which melts into the background so as to highlight the beauty of our fumé dials. And to preserve the purity and elegance of this true work of horological art, we have inscribed our logo like a watermark on the sapphire subdial, thereby underlining the personal character and intimate relationship binding it to its owner“.

Available in five different versions, the Endeavour Cylindrical Tourbillon H. Moser × MB&F model comes in a steel case topped by Funky Blue, Cosmic Green, Burgundy, Off-White or Ice Blue dials, all of the fumé variety.

LM101 MB&F × H. Moser

The Legacy Machine 101 distils the very quintessence of mechanical watchmaking: the balance wheel, the power reserve and the passing of time. It is therefore no coincidence that MB&F has chosen to revisit this model – one of the purest and „simplest“ in its collection – since it is indeed minimalism that guided the creation of the LM101 MB&F × H. Moser model.

Like H. Moser & Cie. and the “back to basics” approach embodied in its Concept watch series, MB&F has chosen to remove its logo and return to its roots and indeed to the very origins of horology, when only the movements were signed. In the same understated spirit, it has abandoned the floating domed subdials to display the hours and minutes as well as the 45-hour power reserve by means of hands placed directly on the main dial.

The fumé dials borrowed from H. Moser & Cie. can thus be expressed in complete freedom, also enhanced by a refined bezel. Four fumé dials have been chosen for the LM101 MB&F × H. Moser: Red fumé, Cosmic Green fumé, Aqua Blue fumé and, of course, the famous Funky Blue fumé. Topped with a domed sapphire crystal, the case is made of steel, for only the third time in the history of MB&F.

The mesmerising large suspended balance wheel continues to take centre stage, albeit completely redesigned on the LM101 MB&F × H. Moser in order to highlight the beauty of the fumé dials. This beating heart, which represents the quintessence of watchmaking in the eyes of Maximilian Büsser, has been fitted with a double balance spring produced by Precision Engineering AG.

Thanks to this pair of matching balance springs, the displacement of the point of gravity undergone by each spring as it expands is corrected, significantly improving precision and isochronism in a continuous quest for perfection. In addition, the paired balance springs also reduce the friction effect normally encountered with a single balance spring, resulting in optimised isochronism.

Through the case back, the curved sapphire crystal reveals the ‘engine’ driving this timepiece. Unlike the base movement of the Legacy Machine 101, of which the finishes were determined by co-creator Kari Voutilainen, the aesthetics of the calibre that powers the LM101 MB&F × H. Moser is more contemporary, with a subtle NAC treatment to enhance its beauty.

Fruitful Cooperation

Edouard Meylan and Maximilian Büsser are delighted with this rewarding collaborative project, which has achieved results far exceeding their expectations. In addition to the beauty of the models created in tandem, two bodies of expertise and two sets of DNA have been blended and mutually enriched. The two different communities of the two Maisons have also pooled their skills in a wonderful spirit of openness and transparency. This experience leaves Edouard and Maximilian with a keen sense of coming back to a sense of pleasure: the pleasure of working together and of creating.

With its substantial watchmaking expertise and highly acclaimed experience in the sector, MELB Holding holds shares in H. Moser & Cie. and Hautlence. MELB Holding is an independent family group, based in the heart of the legendary Vallée de Joux.

MB&F

After a 15-year career in management at prestigious brands, Maximilian Büsser left his role as CEO of Harry Winston in 2005 to create MB&F – Maximilian Büsser & Friends. MB&F is a laboratory dedicated to art and micromechanical engineering, set up to design and create small editions of radical watches, the fruit of collaboration with exceptional professional watchmakers, chosen by Maximilian Büsser for their talent and working methods.

In 2007, MB&F unveiled the HM1, its first Horological Machine. With its sculptural three-dimensional case and finely decorated movement, the HM1 set the tone for the Horological Machines that were to follow – Machines which symbolise time rather than merely Machines used to read it.

In 2011, MB&F released the Legacy Machines collection. These round pieces are more classic than MB&F’s other creations, and pay tribute to the watchmaking excellence of the 19th century, reinterpreting the complications from innovative key watchmaking figures as objects of contemporary art.

LM101-085:Ch7:How to Guarantee your Batch Learning Algorithm Converges

This 85th episode of Learning Machines 101 discusses formal convergence guarantees for a broad class of machine learning algorithms designed to minimize smooth non-convex objective functions using batch learning methods. In particular, a broad class of unsupervised, supervised, and reinforcement machine learning algorithms which iteratively update their parameter vector by adding a perturbation based upon all of the training data. This process is repeated, making a perturbation of the parameter vector based upon all of the training data until a parameter vector is generated which exhibits improved predictive performance. The magnitude of the perturbation at each learning iteration is called the “stepsize” or “learning rate” and the identity of the perturbation vector is called the “search direction”. Simple mathematical formulas are presented based upon research from the late 1960s by Philip Wolfe and G. Zoutendijk that ensure convergence of the generated sequence of parameter vectors. These formulas may be used as the basis for the design of artificially intelligent smart automatic learning rate selection algorithms. The material in this podcast is designed to provide an overview of Chapter 7 of my new book “Statistical Machine Learning” and is based upon material originally presented in Episode 68 of Learning Machines 101!

What Does The Watch Snob Think?

Technically Less Is More

What do you think of JLC Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Cylindrique a Quentieme Perpetual “Blue Dial”? Is it an excellent watch from JLC? And what is your favorite perpetual watch right now?

Is it an excellent watch? Well, it is and it isn’t you might say. There is never anything bad you can say about Jaeger-LeCoultre from a technical standpoint and as a maker of complications it has few peers in that little strip of fine watchmaking known as the Vallee de Joux; to have a complicated watch of any sort from Jaeger is to have a watch made by a firm with a very long history of making complex timepieces, and acting as a supplier of complex movements to other and often more famous names. So they have much to be proud of on that score.

Related: You'll Never Believe These Watches Are Under $200

The next question of course has to do with the style and design of the watch, and here I find this particular piece to fall a bit short, simply because I’m not especially a fan of the stepped dial. I suppose you could make an argument for it in this instance, in that the cylindrical balance spring requires a bit of breathing room to show itself off properly but for this watch, which is already quite busy, I feel the step adds more visual complexity where the design would have been better served by having less.

That aside, it remains a most interesting watch certainly from a technical standpoint.

My personal favorite perpetual calendar at the moment is the Ochs und Junior perpetual, the study of which I commend to anyone interested in horology. It has an almost Stonehenge-simplicity but in terms of ingenuity and freshness in perpetual calendar design it has no rivals, at the moment.

Let’s Get Down To Business

Thank you for your articles; your pontifications have shaped my watch collecting over the years and I am a happy Omega Speedmaster, Nomos Tangente and Grand Seiko Snowflake owner largely because of your musings.

I am looking to expand my horological horizons with a watch that can be worn in a business setting with either a rotating timing bezel or chronograph that is suitable for an occasional dip in the pool . I often find divers too thick and heavy - and as you have lamented - I will never actually go diving. I am one of those individuals that has historically not been interested in Rolex due to its ubiquity and conspicuous nature . I have mulled over the Tudor Black Bay 58, however. This brings me to the upshot: which thin , versatile, water resistant watch with a metal bracelet to acquire?

The two I am hovering over are: 1) a used Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph, likely with a black dial , or 2) a Girard Perregaux Laureato Chronograph in either the black/blue dial or the panda style. Although lovely, I believe Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet to be out of my budget.

The Laureato has its detractors who say its design is derivative . On the other hand, my understanding is that many of the used Overseas do not utilize in-house movements. It would be a shame to acquire a watch of high monetary value with low horological value.

I don’t think you can deny that the Laureato design seems derivative of the Royal Oak although there is no, as you might say, smoking gun – just the fact that the Laureato post-dates the Royal Oak and shares with it an eight-sided bezel and integrated bracelet. At what point these features become part of general watch vocabulary and available to all, rather than seeming a copy-cat, is up to the individual . The Vacheron Overseas chronographs did at one point use ultra-thin self winding chronograph movements from F. Piguet, which has been transformed by the ungracious hand of the Swatch Group into “Manufacture Blancpain,” forsooth.

Personally I find these older Overseas chronographs at least as interesting as the new ones; the F. Piguet chronograph movements are quite fascinating mechanisms in their own right, and in any case, the whole “in-house” business is more often than not an easy crutch for evaluating a watch that simply ignores standard watchmaking practices throughout the history of Swiss watchmaking. Vacheron throughout its history, made extensive use of supplied movements and in the years after World War II was essentially a casemaker for Jaeger-LeCoultre .

If you are interested in a non-chronograph watch with a metal bracelet that can be worn with business attire, the Black Bay 58 is quite a good choice. It’s slimmer than other Black Bay watches, looks attractive, and there is no question that it would tolerate a bit of rough handling better than a vintage, F. Piguet powered Overseas; those movements are quite clever in construction but for obvious reasons you can’t expect a 20th century-era ultra-flat self winding chronograph to take a tremendous amount of abuse.

The Choice Is Simple

What are your thoughts on the MB&F LM101 and Akrivia Chronomètre Contemporain? Which will you choose?

These are both quite interesting but very different watches. For all that the Legacy Machines are the more traditionally designed and finished watches from MB&F, they are still quite avant-garde compared to most of what else is out there, including the Akrivia.

The Akrivia is a superb watch, most beautifully designed and finished to a degree you don’t see very often . I would struggle to choose between the two, simply because there are actually not many points of similarity between them but each represents a kind of high excellence in its own way. I think at this point in my own personal horological journey I would probably choose the Legacy Machine, but that is for very personal reasons; I have followed and admired Mr. Max Busser’s work since his days as the genius behind the Opus series at Harry Winston. Not a knock on the Akrivia at all, just a reflection of my own life in the world of fine watchmaking.
