Boltzmann machine
- didgeoridoo 12y agoSomewhat related concept: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_brain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_brain The estimated time for a Boltzmann Brain to appear in the dead vacuum of space from random spontaneous entropy decrease is on the order of 10^10^50 years[0]. No time at all, compared to infinity. [0]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future#Post-main_sequence_era http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future#Post...
- cma 12y agoYou are much more likely to be half of a boltzmann brain with the input from the other half fed by random fluctuations.
- tst 12y agoHere's a pretty good talk about restricted Boltzmann machines by Geoffrey Hinton. He explains the concepts and problems very well and basically without maths: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyzOUbkUf3M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyzOUbkUf3M
- Excavator 12y agoHis Neural Networks for Machine Learning course¹ is quite a pleasant journey going into everything from simple perceptrons to RBMs, and DBNs² and their uses. As a bonus he's got a quirky sort of dry humour that kept things interesting. 1: https://www.coursera.org/course/neuralnets https://www.coursera.org/course/neuralnets 2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_belief_network http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_belief_network
