- dang 9y agoAh, good catch. It was discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16600701 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16600701. But maybe a second discussion isn't so bad. We'll change the URL to that from http://aiweirdness.com/post/172894792687/when-algorithms-surprise-us http://aiweirdness.com/post/172894792687/when-algorithms-sur....
- baking 9y agoThe title is still the same as the original link, but I wanted to comment on the use of the term "algorithm" in this sense. I'm wondering if that's the proper term for the output of a machine learning algorithm, and if we shouldn't be calling it "learned behavior" instead. I just feel it disparages all the careful work of library developers and the like and cheapens an important field of study.
