What happened when MIT students used A.I. to make pizza
- citilife 8y agoNone of the "AI's" are ever explained, my guess is it's an RNN, as you can easily use that to generate a series of words, notes, etc. or really anything if it is trained.
- nightmare_mit 8y agoHi, indeed we trained an RNN, and you can find more details here: https://medium.com/p/1d7c2c6cb3ce https://medium.com/p/1d7c2c6cb3ce
- olooney 8y agoGoogle did something similar with cookies[1], basically treated it like a non-gradient optimization problem[2], using survey results from human participants to estimate the empirical distribution function to be optimized.

After all, we know that RNNs can learn and model the much more complex syntactical structure of code[3], so generating recipes isn't exactly cutting edge.
