主讲人简 介:Larry Yaeger is a scientist, programmer, and educator who has made innovative contributions in the fields of computational fluid dynamics, computer graphics, neural networks, handwriting recognition, and artificial life. He has recently returned to industry to develop and deploy applied machine learning techniques at Google.
内 容摘 要:All examples of natural intelligence have come about through the evolution of nervous systems in an ecosystem. Evolution provides a powerful engine for exploring an enormous space of possibilities. Nervous systems are the ubiquitous natural solution to processing information in an intelligent fashion. And intelligence only makes sense within a context-- within the ecosystem in which it confers an evolutionary advantage. He will discuss how the field of Artificial Life offers a way to use the same approach in the pursuit of Artificial Intelligence, suggesting a means of ratcheting AI up through a spectrum of intelligence along with information and graph theoretic methods of quantifying and understanding the resulting mechanisms of machine intelligence.
