Public Invited To Pick Pixels on Mars :: Elites TV - 0 views

  •  
    HiRISE team gives public the oppotunity to propose imaging targets on Mars... i.e., they kind of stole our idea from the secondary payload brainstorm!

BBC NEWS | Technology | 'Road trains' get ready to roll - 3 views

  •  
    sleeping and driving on the highway
  •  
    "The lead vehicle would be handled by a professional driver who would monitor the status of the road train. Those in following vehicles could take their hands off the wheel, read a book or watch TV, while they travel along the motorway. Their vehicle would be controlled by the lead vehicle." .... what or who is defining a professional driver? one of the always overly tired truck drivers?

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.

    what would be todays equivalents?

    Ha! The one about the horse is that "in 100 years there will be people who've never seen a live horse in their lives" :-) Actually it's more than true now with children asking my mother who works in the school "so, do those kangaroos really exist"? Children are fed with so much realistic BS on TV (dinosaur parks etc.) that they can hardly tell the difference between fiction and reality. If you already have offspring: have they seen, say, a live cow or chicken already? (This is most probably a reference to the quote: "Horse is as everyone can see")

    >what would be todays equivalents? Hmmm... what about technology forecasts?
  •  
    ah. that makes sense. what about the one where they're having dinner then?
  •  
    No idea... another one I don't get is the one with the waiter presenting some small black-white thing to the white hair guy on a chair.

    love the clockwork orange one
