Black widow spiders last something like a thousand eggs, and the hatchlings murder and easy one another until only a couple survive... Who go in to live for as long as black widows live for. The average lifespan is likely quite low, however

This strikes me as equally "AI complete" as drawing hands, which is now essentially a solved problem... No one test is sufficient, because you can add enough training data to address it.

That doesn't seem in any way useful, though... To use a very blunt analogy, are color blind people intelligent/sentient/whatever? Obviously, yes: differences in perceptual apparatus aren't useful indicators of intelligen

No, the corpus is not the source. It's data. So we can have concepts of open models, open source, and open data. Any combination of these can be chosen independently. (Open data and open model but not open source is a bit weird, but no

Are humans able to destroy all this habitat because they've got a better brain architecture, because they are able to achieve higher brain mass (because they don't need to fly to survive), or because they have opposable thumbs? Th

Humans are an n=1 example, is my point. And there's no direct competition between bird brain architecture and mammalian brain architecture, so there's no reason for one architecture to 'win' over the other - they may bot

Birds are under a different set of constraints than non-bat mammals, of course... They're very different. Songbirds have ~4x finer time Perception of audio than humans do, for example, which is exemplified by taking complex sparrow son

This is a competition I have been co-organizing for a number of years now. The goal is to use 'focal' bird recordings to identify species in passively recorded soundscapes. We focus on a different understudied region each year, wh

For bioacoustics there are significant problems with domain shift, label shift, label imbalance, and sample bias in training data. You need models to generalize to new data with very different noise profiles than the available training data

That's the point of this paper: investigating whether 'chain of thought' promoting kinda-works because it actually induces reasoning, or whether it's just that more verbose answers give the model more tokens to work with

Of course, it would be easy to put such questions together, and I'm sure the LLM would do fine with them - there's a massive amount of human text about human relationships. One difference, as in all ml training, is interactivity.

You get embeddings at every activation layer of the network, at every token. That's extra state accessible to the network when running in recurrent 'generate the next token' mode.

Sadly, pitchfork has recently been gutted. Wouldn't be surprised if the new masters are doing this purely for PR...
