  1. Dreams, Drugs & ConvNets Piotr Migdał, PhD deepsense.io / freelancer

  2. Deep Learning progress • image recognition, neural style, word analogies,

    per-char translations, playing ATARI games, Go, [no idea what’s next] • fast-paced (more than my quantum physics PhD):
 6 month ago a breakthrough, now a baseline • (no questions about Singularity please!)
  3. Artificial neural networks • Multidimensional arrays • Simple matrix operations

    (add, multiply) • Floats (not spikes) • Simple activation functions (sigmoid, ReLU) • Cost function and back-propagation • A lot of weights (e.g. 100M)
  4. Big questions • creating general AI or sentient beings •

    transferring our minds (mind uploading) “I mean, if we're able to save even just a small piece of ourselves, why wouldn't we do that?” - SOMA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZTfi1jv-EE
  5. Flesh vs machines:
 practical questions • Cross-inspiration: • Machine Learning

    to Human Cognition • Human Cognition to Machine Learning • Common abstractions • Learning in general • Hierarchical signal processing
  6. The biggest lie of every
 parent, pet owner
 and neural

    network trainer: “I’ve never shown it that, it must have learned it by itself!”
  7. • What should I use:
 THC, LSD, DMT? • A

    good GPU! http://alexgrey.com/shop/st-al.html
  8. Learning what is important • Object consistency • Toddler needs

    to learn, so do ConvNets http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/illusion-chasers/what-little-babies-see-that-you-no-longer-can/
  9. Questions? • If you want to learn: • http://lumiverse.io/series/neural-networks-demystified •
