deepmind

Nobody is concerned that DeepMind or Watson will suddenly grow sentient unless they are very confused about their capabilities.

And the famous DeepMind works (Atari games etc) is mostly about Reinforcement learning, which is again different.

The (now Google) DeepMind Atari demo[4] and Marl/O[5] Finally, the work being done on making this stuff usable by programmers (Torch etc).

The Deepmind demo [1] and the recent robotics work at Berkeley[2] are good examples.

I found this vid quite interesting about Deepmind which kind of shows where things have got to.

Well, if I understood correctly, the RL DeepMind implementation is basically making a RL algorithm work with a supervised model.

The original Deepmind paper [1] is based on a really smart idea.

Somewhat worrying that they are feeding DeepMind a diet of DailyMail articles!

Note that Demis Hassabis of DeepMind/Google is a coauthor on the linked study, they are actively working on integrating insights from neuroscience into their AI systems.

The Deepmind paper is about a few more tricks.

DeepMind is a bit of an exception to this.

More worryingly: Hey DeepMind, go cure cancer for us.

The "DQN" (Deep Q Network) stuff from Google DeepMind has states.

"I can only guess they're using the Mail because they think it's funny." Ironically, given your self-professed superior tastes in reading material, Deepmind seems to have a better ability to read, comprehend, and answer questions about articles than you do.

Deepmind is cleverly converting the Daily Mail article summaries into questions by removing a proper noun.

Deepmind might have problems abstracting too much over the text because of this.
