What tech calls “AI” isn’t really AI

First, the problem itself is poorly defined: what do you mean by intelligence? Nature, with all her blind hideous strength, endless experimentation and wild wastes of infinite time, has only managed the trick once (by our narrow definition), with one species of tree-ape on a rolling green world. Even if you believe there’s intelligent biological life elsewhere, the stats aren’t promising.

Eternity had forever to crack the code. We have minds, but less patience.

Designing applications that can program computers is a long-sought grail of the branch of computer science called artificial intelligence (AI). The new application, called Bayou, came out of an initiative aimed at extracting knowledge from online source code repositories like GitHub. Users can try it out at askbayou.com.

TDM: From Model-Free to Model-Based Deep Reinforcement Learning

While simple, this thought experiment highlights some important aspects of human intelligence. For some tasks, we use a trial-and-error approach, and for others we use a planning approach. A similar phenomena seems to have emerged in reinforcement learning (RL).

Swift for TensorFlow Design Overview

Swift for TensorFlow provides a new programming model for TensorFlow – one that combines the performance of graphs with the flexibility and expressivity of Eager execution, while keeping a strong focus on improved usability at every level of the stack. In order to achieve our goals, we scope in the possibility of making (carefully considered) compiler and language enhancements, which enables us to provide a great user experience.
