The idea of using neural networks to do what humans can already write code to do seems a bit wrong-headed. Why would you take a system that's human-readable, fast, and easy to edit, and make it slow, opaque, and very hard to edit? The big wins for ml have all been things that people couldn't write code to do, like image recognition.
- AgentME 10y agoEven if it only works for problems that are trivially solved by people, the fact that it can be done automatically is useful. A system could react to changes and some new problems automatically by continually retraining itself.
- JeffreyKaine 10y agoI think they just want to teach the system to crawl before it can walk, run then eventually fly. Doing something that would be easy for a human to code makes it easy for a human to see what's going on and help train the system to think like a human.
