so something that is repetitive... fails even after completing one cycle successfuly?

How long did it take YOU to learn to bipedal motion?

Now we need simulations that will teach them to NOT KILLS US ALL AND TAKE OVER!!!!!
Rivalyn
Realistically, even clever AI might not realize that it could do that. But honestly, we'd probably just let it take charge anyway.
matteyothecrazy
I think that AI's wouldn't kill us all, they would get bored!

actually, MIRI and the lesswrong community are working on that problem. in my opinion, too early to be useful, but hey. (actually, 1/2
lahwran
the lesswrong community has been made fun of a lot - deservingly - for some crazy ideas they've had on how to keep AI safe.)
9thDr
They're choosing to be thorough. It's not a bad thing.
lahwran
I'm thinking specifically of roko's basilisk. look it up if you want a chuckle - rationalwiki has an article on it

Lesswrong has some good fanfic, but regretably very few papers published. Good idea tough.
lahwran
yeah, that's why I love them so much - the fanfiction ;)
EmilyBronte
In the book version of I,Robot the robots take over but hardly anyone notices it's presented as a -probably- good thing.
Kingmal
In fact, the reason robots kill people in I, Robot (both the book and movie version) is because they actually try too hard to protect (1/2)
Kingmal
(2/2) humans. They wind up killing a few humans when needed in order to keep humanity itself heading down a safe path.

This concept is also hugely important in financial trading
MathSalts
Genetic algorithms don't function without repeated similar data it can adapt to, and that does not happen in real life.(2/2)
potshot
They have their uses and are utilized though. Their use is limited, but they aren't useless.
MathSalts
Oh, yeah, but really more for control theory. The actual task is establishing accurate models and identifying events. PM me; more info
MathSalts
This concept is also hugely important |Buzzword| in financial trading. Can't use a genetic algo on an immensely chaotic system. (1/2)
MrSisterFister
This is actually not a genetic algorithm, it's realized by something called Markov Models or ANN for Artificial Neural Networks.

Definitely neural network...way more complex than finite state machines and fuzzy logic

Are you sure? It doesn't look like a stochastic process to me.

If it were GA, what would the building blocks be? Initialization is (usually) random but here all solutions have 2 legs, tail, long neck,

high center of gravity.Unless Gen1 is made of Jello it looks like ANN to me.
Geo80
Are ANNs typically measured in generations though?
MrSisterFister
Every time the weights are changed is a "generation."

If I wanted to learn how to do things like this. What should I be looking for?
MathSalts
The really (REALLY) powerful systems in use are actually things you could learn better from doing Applied Mathematics. 1/2
MathSalts
The AI that you work with will suffer unless you can reduce dimensionality, and you need the Applied Math for stochastic systems.
HauldrenCollider
Computer science *is* applied mathematics.
MathSalts
CS is like applied math in the same way economics is applied math. It isn't. You just studied rules of thumb actual mathematicians wrote.

In short, it "learns" a solution by simulating evolution. There are populations of solutions, that are initially just random. (1)

As a recent math grad, it's likely an application of the Hidden Markov model. Also as a recent math grad, I do not understand stand it.

Me too if possible ! Very interested. :)
Geo80
Each generation a small factor of randomness is introduced to some or all individuals and the process repeated.(3)
TheRectifier
What are other applications of it? Would you happen to know any sources?
Geo80
It's potential applications are fairly broad. What do you mean by sources?
TheRectifier
I'm interested in using it to model nuclei formation in fusion

Wanted to a do a little digging of my own. I found some good places to learn more about the algorithm.
