Your point about dynamics kinda reminds me of Chomsky's critique of statistical approaches to AI, for example here: http://norvig.com/chomsky.html http://norvig

- pakl 10y agoYes, but in direct contrast to Chomsky (who would say there's not enough data/time for kids to learn from) I am saying that there is a ton of rich dynamical data in the world around us all the time. Plenty to learn from. Just plug a webcam into an adequate system and allow it to learn dynamics by trying to predict what it will see next. Chomsky is almost right for the wrong problem: there won't ever be enough human-labeled data for good generalization. ;)
- js8 10y agoI think what Chomsky was saying in that particular debate was that purely statistical methods do not lead to true understanding, as opposed to more phenomenological theory.
