Learning with a Thousand Brains - A Conversation with Dr Viviane Clay
After learning about the amazing work of my guest this week, I had an idea that I wanted to test out. Perhaps our current obsession with Large Language Models is revealing of our historic obsession with a narrow cognitivist view of how human learning happens (and, therefore, how schooling is structured)?!Memorise the largest possible bank of static data and then output plausible propositions, in response to prompts from a teacher or a standardised exam! Obviously that's a bit of an unfair caricature of the industrial schooling system, but also not a million miles from the truth...

AI Isn’t Intelligent—Here’s What’s Missing | Jeff Hawkins (Ep. 14)
In this episode of Life With Machines, Baratunde sits down with Jeff Hawkins—PalmPilot inventor and author of A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence—to talk about why today’s AI isn’t actually intelligent. Jeff makes the case that deep learning is just fancy pattern matching, not real thinking, and argues that true intelligence will only emerge once we crack the brain’s code. He lays out a future where AI works more like a human mind and eventually surpasses our intelligence. Fun times. Also BLAIR, the show’s AI co-producer, chimes in with their own thoughts on...

Тувалу создает цифровое государство из-за риска уйти под воду
В новом выпуске подкаста: 🔸В Японии Национальный центр по делам потребителей предложил гражданам указывать в завещании имена пользователей и пароли от аккаунтов. Рекомендация появилась после случаев, когда граждане не могли отменить подписки, на которые их близкие подписались перед смертью; 🔸Островное государство Тувалу, столкнувшееся с угрозами, связанными с изменением климата и повышением уровня моря, создаёт цифрового «двойника» своей территории. Правительство стремится сохранить культуру и права 11 000 граждан страны в метавселенной; 🔸Китайская компания обучила конкурента GPT-4 всего на 2000 графических процессорах и потратила 3 миллиона долларов по сравнению с 80–100 миллионами долларов OpenAI; 🔸Разработана ИИ-модель, которая потребляет гораздо меньше энергии и данных, чем существующие системы. Модель Numenta имитирует способность мозга обрабатывать информацию в реальном времени. Обсудили эти новости с директором Национальной Гильдии Фрилансеров Кириллом Аношиным, начальником отдела по работе с регистраторами и пользователями Координационного центра доменов .RU/.РФ Георгием Георгиевским и руководителем департамента права цифровых технологий и биоправа НИУ ВШЭ Наталией Ковалёвой Ведущая подкаста — Стася Савельева.

CDFAM Computational Design Symposium
Realizing Differentiable Physics in Digital Engineering
Recorded at CDFAM Computational Design Symposium, NYC 2024Presentation AbstractIn the context of traditional and advanced industrial settings, the adoption of Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) requires operating in digital-physical environments governed by large-scale, three-dimensional, multi-modal data streams that are confounded with noise, sparsity, irregularities and other complexities that are common with machines and sensors interacting with the real, physical world. Digital engineering domains—that is CAD, CAM, CFD, and so on—and advanced manufacturing settings provide exemplary environments to separate tried & tested SciML from unreliable “AI” and game engines.

Avoiding Catastrophe: Active Dendrites Enable Multi-Task Learning in Dynamic Environments (Review)
#multitasklearning #biology #neuralnetworks Catastrophic forgetting is a big problem in mutli-task and continual learning. Gradients of different objectives tend to conflict, and new tasks tend to override past knowledge. In biological neural networks, each neuron carries a complex network of dendrites that mitigate such forgetting by recognizing the context of an input signal. This paper introduces Active Dendrites, which carries over the principle of context-sensitive gating by dendrites into the deep learning world. Various experiments show the benefit in combatting catastrophic forgetting, while preserving sparsity and limited parameter counts. ...

The Theory of a Thousand Brains
In this episode, we talk with Jeff Hawkins—an entrepreneur and scientist, known for inventing some of the earliest handheld computers, the Palm and the Treo, who then turned his career to neuroscience and founded the Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience in 2002 and Numenta in 2005—about a new theory about how the cells in our brain work to create intelligence. What exactly is happening in the neocortex as our brains process and interpret information and sensory input—like sight, smell, touch, or language, or math—to create a perception of and to navigate through the world around us?

Today we’re joined by Dileep George, Founder and the CTO of Vicarious. Dileep, who was also a co-founder of Numenta, works at the intersection of AI research and neuroscience, and famously pioneered the hierarchical temporal memory. In our conversation, we explore the importance of mimicking the brain when looking to achieve artificial general intelligence, the nuance of “language understanding” and how all the tasks that fall underneath it are all interconnected, with or without language. We also discuss his work with Recursive Cortical Networks, Schema Networks, and what’s next on the path towards AGI!
