Screencast Story About the World's First University Course in AGI in 2010 in Plovdiv - Artificial General Intelligence

Виж на български - друга, по-добра версия на разказа. A short story about the world's first interdisciplinary University course in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), presented at Plovdiv University in 2010 and 2011. See also the strange funny personal coincidences between me, the author of the first course, and the author of the MIT's course, starts around 5-th minut...

BAIHUI.AI - нов български стартъп в изкуствения интелект | BAIHUI.AI - New Bulgarian AI Start-up

През юни няколко колеги са създали стартъп за изкуствен интелект с това дръзко българско име с китайско звучене. :) Засега показват, че са успели да подкарат GPT-2 преобразувател (Transformer), обучен върху български текст с 1.5 милиарда променливи, предполагам през Амазонския AWS, не са толкова богати че да имат необходимия хардуер за друго обучение. Пуснали са и кратка анимация, прилича на StyleGAN (виж www.thispersondoesntexist.com). И двете системи са с отворен код, първата е от OpenAI, втората е от NVidia. https://www.linkedin.com/company/baihuiai BAIHUI.AI...

MIT's Interdisciplinary Billion Dollar Computing College - 9-10 years after the interdisciplinary program of Todor at Plovdiv University Etc.

Comments regarding a recent talk from Lex Fridman's AI podcast with Jeff Hawkins from Numenta: https://youtu.be/-EVqrDlAqYo Conceptually it seems Hawkins'  approach and ideas still match many of the insights and direction in my "Theory of Universe and Mind"  works from the early 2000s (published before "On Intelligence" in "Sacred Computer" - "Свещеният сметач") and afterwards. In addition to:  not following the mainstream research which is doing minimal changes which lead  to minimal progress of some...

Shape Bias in CNN for Better Results due to Wrong Texture Bias by Default

In its intro the authors of the paper below explain that it's been a common believe in the CNN community that the ImageNet trained neural networks developed a "shape bias" and stored "shape representations",  they propose a contrary view, that CNN are texture-biased and prove it with experiments: IMAGENET-TRAINED CNNS ARE BIASED TOWARDS TEXTURE; INCREASING SHAPE BIAS IMPROVES ACCURACY AND ROBUSTNESS To me that texture-bias has been obvious and obviously wrong. The CNNs recognise texture-features and search correlations...

Cognitive Science's Failure to Become an Interdisciplinary Field - the Multi-Interdisciplinary Blindness

Discussion of mine regarding the paper: "Perspective | What happened to cognitive science?,  10 June 2019 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-019-0626-2?fbclid=IwAR2mMzO4qzIKINXT2BUcMZAS1ZI4PONd04SHQeF7FLgvH5VTc1pwR4DcLow Available on Github: https://github.com/rdgao/WH2CogSci/blob/master/nunezetal_final.pdf?fbclid=IwAR17HIosUS-7EKdFT4a--SesVuwb3aPp-1a0yE4Rbk_q8io8w5S6nFVrWvY https://www.facebook.com/groups/RealAGI/permalink/1230556097152988/ IMO a big share of the problem lays in the whole researchers's and overall...

SuperCogAlg & CogAlg Frame Blobs Visualisations | СуперКогАлг - алгоритъм за Универсален Изкуствен Разум

More recent visualisations from June, a completed primary bottom-up segmentation in the C++ version. Now working on deeper structures. I'm looking for partners and cofounders.По-скорошни снимки от работата на прототипа на алгоритъм за универсален изкуствен разум, надграждащо се машинно обучение без учител (unsupervised learning). Засега изглежда като компютърно зрение и обособяване и разделяне на части ("клъстериране" и сегментация). "СуперКогАлг"*...
