2017/03/11 | 1,080 | 4,595 | <issue_start>username_0: Does artificial intelligence write its own code and then execute it? If so, does it create separate functions for each purpose?<issue_comment>username_1: Computers are able to write their own code *without* needing any intelligence -- see the Wikipedia entries for [self-modifying code](https://... |
2017/03/11 | 1,144 | 4,847 | <issue_start>username_0: As far as I know MDP are independent from the past. But the definition says that the same policy should always take the same action depending on the state.
What if I define my state as the current "main" state + previous decisions?
For Example in Poker the "main" state would be my cards and t... |

I use the *policy gradient* method, namely REINFORCE, with baseline. For the value and policy function approximation, I use a *neural network*. It has convolutional and fully connected la... |
2017/03/15 | 1,630 | 6,539 | <issue_start>username_0: I heard several times that one of the fundamental/open problems of deep learning is the lack of "general theory" on it, because, actually, we don't know why deep learning works so well.

So, bu... |
2017/03/18 | 607 | 2,609 | <issue_start>username_0: Humans often dream of random events that occurred during the day. Could the reason for this be that our brains are backpropagating errors while we sleep, and we see the result of these "backpropagations" as dreams?<issue_comment>username_1: In large software with many actions and possible flows... |

2017/03/31 | 262 | 1,026 | <issue_start>username_0: I once came across a neural network being trained without back-propagation or genetic algorithms (or using any kind of data sets). It was based on how the human brain learns and adjusts its connections between neurons.

2017/04/04 | 519 | 2,159 | <issue_start>username_0: The machine learning community often only provides empirical results, but I am also interested in theoretical results and proofs.

2017/04/05 | 720 | 2,953 | <issue_start>username_0: I have read that all the math responsible for modern day machine learning and AI was already in place in 1900s but we did not have computational resources to implement those algorithms. So, is that true? And if it is, in what areas of machine learning the researchers work? And are all the futur... |
