I mean, don’t most researchers use Adam? As far as I know that is a second-order method.

The genetic algorithm currently isn't in a working state unfortunately. I did a big architectural rewrite recently and haven't gotten around to GA stuff - but I'm looking forward to applying some more modern results in neuroe

It's definitely finding a niche in robotic control. My lab just released a paper about running a policy trained in simulation in the real world on a bipedal robot.

Sooo ... the president is legally allowed to turn off my light switches or commandeer my phone, but does the infrastructure for him to do that exist?

That may be true, but that is a far cry from asymptotic

We know the brain is doing something - if you don't want to call it computation, then you might as well call it magic.

I've been working on a deep learning library in C, and have been thinking about optimizing it for embedded applications specifically. https://github.com/siekmanj/sieknet Other than that, I'm not sure if there

Expect homeowner's insurance in coastal areas to rise, real estate prices to fall, and sales of AC to increase.

Thanks! Mostly it was out of a desire to learn more about the actual algorithms behind AI, and trying to figure out if it's a field I might enjoy working in. I really enjoy building things from the ground up, and understanding how each

I think python is generally used for AI and data science stuff, so you'd probably be better off learning that. That said, I think one of the best ways to learn how to do something is dive right into it. I'm currently in the proces

They're not, as far as I know. In fact, that was one of the big selling points of reinforcement learning - that it tends to reach a better minimum than GA.
