Yes, 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.
