I read and reviewed Pedro Domingos's book "The Master Algorithm". My review is here:
http://smile.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/AYJ8P83FHQARZ To summarize my biggest criticism: The book documents the search for a silver bullet of machine intelligence. The author didn't seem to be familiar with Legg's 2008 proof that machine intelligence will be complex. In "Is there an Elegant Universal Theory of Prediction?" Legg offers a simple, constructive proof that, for any prediction algorithm, there exist sequences with similar Kolmogorov complexity to the prediction algorithm, that the predictor can never learn how to predict. Legg's conclusion is that successful general purpose predictors of complex sequences will themselves necessarily be highly complex. Machine intelligence doesn't have a silver bullet. -- __________ |im Tyler http://timtyler.org/ ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
