[agi] HTM vs. IHDR

2007-06-24 Thread Lukasz Stafiniak
I'm starting to learn about Numenta's HTM, but perhaps someone would like to share in advance: what are the essential differences between HTM and Yuang Weng's IHDR augmented with Observation-driven MDPs? - This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change

Ouch, they differ more than I thought... Good :-) (HTM based more on Bayes nets) On 6/24/07, Lukasz Stafiniak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm starting to learn about Numenta's HTM, but perhaps someone would like to share in advance: what are the essential differences between HTM and Yuang Weng's

I have one of Richard Sutton's books, and RL methods are useful but I also have some reservations about them. Often in this sort of approach a strict behaviorist position is adopted where the system is simply trying to find an appropriate function mapping inputs to outputs. The internals of the

Understood. The distinction isn't explained in the short introduction at all, and that is why I linked to my paper http://nars.wang.googlepages.com/wang.AI_Definitions.pdf , which explains it in a semi-formal manner. Pei On 6/24/07, Eliezer S. Yudkowsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Pei Wang wrote:

One conceptual difference is that BN corresponds to a third person viewpoint on probable relations among events, while MDP corresponds to a first person viewpoint on probable relations between actions and consequences. Pei On 6/24/07, Bo Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My understanding is

The obvious observation is that HTM is bottom-up and IHDR is top-down. HTM builds hierarchy by merging fixed, topologically-organized, coordinate-system-based subspaces: tilings, where IHDR builds hierarchy by splitting input space by adaptively learned Gaussian features. - This list is
