Nonlinear control with neural networks has existed for a long time, though, it's not exactly new. Is there reason to think they did something profoundly new in that specific instance?
- mooneater 10y agoProbably the use of a DNC for industrial application is novel.
- gwern 10y agoYes. When this came first up, someone on /r/machinelearning scoffed that using NNs to control fans/coolers/power systems to optimize was trivial and obvious and had been done for decades. When I challenged him for a ref, he produced a PDF which listed dozens of industrial applications for various nonlinear NN algorithms... none of which were actually autonomously controlling anything and most were predictive.
