Computers Learn How to Paint Whatever You Tell Them To - 3 views

  •  
    Most self-respecting artists wouldn't agree to paint a portrait of a toilet in the middle of a field. Fortunately, advancements in artificial intelligence have given computers the ability to imagine just about any scenario, no matter how bizarre, and illustrate it. Take a look at this image.
  •  
    Those are some creepy faces among them.. This is also just completely random isn't it?
  •  
    Well, biased to the data it was trained on. Computing a net is pretty deterministic. But not everything is perfectly correlated yet. Still nice progress.

The Economics of Star Wars: How the Empire collapses - 1 views

  •  
    Simulating the economic state of the Galaxy after the resistance has blown up the Death Stars. See the paper here: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1511.09054.pdf

    Love this type of friday afternoon research questions. There is also a now famous scene in the movie Clerks discussing the loss of independent contractors lives as the Death Star was being build.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQdDRrcAOjA

    That analysis is quite crappy and is easily demolished in the video's comments.

    In this paper published on Nature, AI researchers used deep Q-network with very good adaptability and obtained performances comparable to those of a human games tester.

    Bastards! And that was to be my next idea. Still no recurrency as I see it so far, so this is just some fancy way to do a markov model. Not sure if this is that particular paper or an earlier version but here it is for those interested: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~vmnih/docs/dqn.pdf

Mars One, which offered 1-way trips to Mars, declared bankrupt | CBC News - 5 views

  •  
    RIP Mars One, you were stupid to begin with.
  •  
    Who would have thought?
  •  
    while the whole project was obviously a scam and i'm surprised how long it took courts to figure that out, it managed to get an enormous amount of people interested in space and ignited a conversation (even if that one was just about bashing the project :D)

Reinforcement Learning with Prediction-Based Rewards - 3 views

  •  
    Prediction-based method for encouraging reinforcement learning agents to explore their environments through curiosity (reward for unfamiliar states). Learns some games without any extrinsic reward!
  •  
    Fun failure case: agent gets stuck in front of TV.
  •  
    Not read this article but on a related note: Curiosity and various metrics for it have been explored for some time in robotics (outside of RL) as a framework for exploring (partially) unfamiliar environments. I came across some papers on this topic applied to UAVs when prep'ing for a PhD app. This one (http://www.cim.mcgill.ca/~yogesh/publications/crv2014.pdf) comes to mind - which used a topic modelling approach.

Google AI Blog: Curiosity and Procrastination in Reinforcement Learning - 2 views

    What happens if you put a TV in the maze your robot is supposed to navigate (driven by curiosity)?
  •  
    Does the fact that I follow this process of learning, make me a meta-learner? Or a pre-robot?
