Are simple animal snares and traps a form of automation? Of computation?

I'm trying to understand the relationship of humans and automation, historically and culturally. I ask because the waterclock is generally considered the earliest form of automation, but snares and deadfall traps constitute simple switch…

Is it ok to struggle with mathematics while learning AI as a beginner?

I have a decent background in Mathematics and Computer Science .I started learning AI from Andrew Ng's course from one month back. I understand logic and intuition behind everything taught but if someone asks me to write or derive mathematical…

What is the difference between learning without forgetting and transfer learning?

I would like to incrementally train my model with my current dataset and I asked this question on Github, which is what I'm using SSD MobileNet v1. Someone there told me about learning without forgetting. I'm now confused between learning without…

Has any research been done on DNN Music?

DNNs are typically used to classify things (of course) but can we let them go wild with sounds and then tell them if we think it sounds good or not? I'd like to think after a training class has been made (perhaps comparing the output to an existing…

Why can't neural networks learn functions outside of the specified domains?

I understand that neural nets are fundamentally interpolative tools. Meaning, given a training dataset, a well trained neural net can approximate values within the domain of the training dataset. However, we are unsure about their behavior once we…

Suicide Predictor and Locator

Suicide is on the increase in my country and most victims tend to leave early traces from text messages, social media accounts, search engine queries. So I came up with the idea to develop an AI system with the following features: Ability to read…

How important is true randomness in AI designs?

How important is true (non-pseudo) randomness in Artificial Intelligence designs? Is there any chance that pseudo-randomness could be a barrier to more successful designs?

Can a vanilla neural network theoretically achieve the same performance as CNN?

I perfectly understand that CNN takes into account the local dependency of each pixel to the nearby pixels. In addition, CNNs are spatially invariant which means that they are able to detect the same feature anywhere in the image. These qualities…

In sequence-to-sequence, why is the output of the decoder used as its input?

The basic seq-2-seq model consists of 2 parts: a recurrent encoder that compresses a sequence to a vector and decoder that unrolls the vector into the output sequence: Why is the output, w, x, y, z of the decoder used as its input? Shouldn't the…

Is AI capable to replace pilots entirely on the commercial flights?

Since we've self-driving cars already, would we have self-flying commercial flights in the near future? Basically the AI which can do take off, flying, landing and parking.

What are the most compact Real Time-Strategy Games?

There was a recent informal question on chat about RTS games suitable for AI benchmarks, and I thought it would be useful to ask a question about them in relation to AI research. Compact is defined as the fewest mechanics, elements, and smallest…

Is it possible for a neural network to be used to compress data?

When training a neural network, we often run into the issue of overfitting. However, is it possible to put overfitting to use? Basically, my idea is, instead of storing a large dataset in a database, you can just train a neural network on the entire…

How do big companies, like Facebook, model individuals and their interaction?

As a layman in AI, I want to get an idea of how big data players, like Facebook, model individuals (of which they have so many data). There are two scenarios I can imagine: Neural networks build clusters of individuals by pure and "unconscious" big…

Is there a machine learning algorithm to find similar sales patterns?

I have a dataset as follows (and the table extends to include an extra 146 columns for companies 4-149) Is there an algorithm I could use effectively to find similar patterns in sales from the other companies when compared to my company? I thought…

What is local consistency in constraint satisfaction problems?

In the Constraint Propagation in CSP, it is often stated that pre-processing can solve the whole problem, so no search is required at all. And the key idea is local consistency. What does this actually mean?
