There is a version of Frink(lang) for Android. I don't think there's one for iOS. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=frink.android&...

We don't drive with just our eyes. We fuse vision, sound, touch and proprioception. We self-locate easily. Most important though, is we do sophisticated visual, theory of mind and physics based inference. If you take the example of Che

I enjoyed your post but I have a disagreement. Graph Coloring is np-complete or np-hard depending on what question you're asking. Grover's algorithm for unstructured search only provides a quadratic boost. If you're pulling f

That doesn't affect my core point: many of the things that humans have commonly associated with intelligence have been the first to fall. In hindsight it makes sense, we mistakenly assumed that there was such a thing as a universal ran

I agree, Go is a challenging game for computers but even more so for humans. However, for computers, Go is not more challenging than translation, speech to text or driving or understanding a comic book. The progression of superhuman play in

Nocturnal animals function by having a large proportion of rods. This was true of our anthropoid ancestors, resulting in humans having very limited high acuity color vision. We get round this by rapidly scanning and stitching the world toge

According to the old paper (AlphaGo has seen significant improvement in efficiency and algorithm so this might be outdated), the distributed version with 1900 CPUs and 280 GPUs defeated the version with 48 CPU and 8 GPUs 81% of the time. No

Your point is not very different from those who say AlphaGo's is really a human victory because human teams built it. Such a distinction based on a historical trace is not a useful one to make. Similarly, the sum total of energy a mode

I understand your frustration as I too was looking for what series of hypotheses her journey of discovery took her through. Alas, this was a (good) human interest piece so that was not the focus. Assuming this device works, it is fun to thi

That article is not wrong. Your quote from the article is highly probable, when evaluated via the likelihood function of our understanding of intelligence in animals. The article is long and the title phrasing is less than stellar but the e

I disagree that his points are due to mere familiarity with "old-school methods". I view elegance as something that is simple in hindsight but only if with an appropriate background. These are simple movements that belie the exper

Yours is a common sentiment but it is not very accurate. Deep learning is not separate from or a more evolved form of machine learning. It's a learning algorithm, with its own structural biases, such as from architecture and optimizati

Humans have a bit more information than that -- tactile, proprioceptive and complex predictive models they can query (folk physics, theory of mind of other agents, higher order knowledge of roads and places). But I agree, humans perform wel

The human brain is doing the playing so we can focus on 20 watts. We can also ignore the on going visual and audio processing, complex motion planning, on line learning, signal filtering and focus on just the Go part (in other words, < 2

Things are never so simple and clear cut -- delayed sleep phase disorder is a fairly common ailment. There was a recent paper which studied a mutation that might explain some cases of DSPD [1]. According to [1], a sizeable fraction of the p

It makes perfect sense to me. There is indeed a division between the metabolic first hypothesis, which posits the spontaneous assembly of autocatalytic metabolic networks under the correct conditions (lots of incoming useful energy + abunda

We can look at kuru survivors who sadly, recently underwent rapid natural selection. Among this population are those possessing a variant of the prion protein gene that conveys strong resistance to prion diseases and the propogation of misf

Yes, I agree with you but with a caveat. Semi-supervised learning is well known but has, I'll argue, recently fallen out of fashion in favor of throwing gallons more of labeled data at a really big neural net, crossing your fingers and

This is a good start and might be useful to other beginners. From the vantage point of someone who already knows what the words mean, I can fill in the gaps in your definitions but unfortunately, a beginner might not be so able. Here are so

It is a fair description. That being: able to enumerate a large number of arbitrary goals and define a large number of basic pattern classifiers/feature extractors. When people give credit to the human designers for AlphaGo's wins

There's lots of work that's being done related to program synthesis and inductive logic programming. You can even view the more sophisticated recurrent Neural nets, with more complex memory structures, as differentiable programs.

An often missed point is that the NFL has a practical consequence and that is, learning doesn't happen if the model architecture is not well adapted to the structure of the data. There being structure is not on its own strong enough to

Without disagreeing (nor agreeing), what do you mean by intelligence? A lot of the disagreements I see is from people disbelieving that "mere" math and algorithms can exhibit intelligence. A mystical sort of Intelligence of the Ga

I don't think that a counter-argument. If we rephrase it as: no entity thus far has a good grasp on the current state of the world at any given moment and furthermore, no one or group can really predict the effect of their actions on t

It is a different paradigm in the same sense that Logic programming is a different paradigm. It's not just some API or library you can start calling into, it's a tool which deeply changes how you approach your problem. You need to

The article was talking about Level 5 as a long way off but it also spent time talking about a lack of consistency in how these levels are applied [1]. Some systems might state they are Level 4 but that's only true for well mapped good

Poker in a sense, is the most realistic game in that it has multiplayer, hidden information and stochastic aspects. While chess and go have huge state spaces (as does no limit poker), they are also fairly straight forward due to their 2 pla

Yep, pigs are highly intelligent. They've been shown to be able to learn how to use mirrors to locate food, are possibly capable of theory of mind, deception and visual perspective taking. Some of these can be disputed as associative l
