When should I use Reinforcement Learning vs PID Control?

When designing solutions to problems such as the Lunar Lander on OpenAIGym, Reinforcement Learning is a tempting means of giving the agent adequate action control so as to successfully land. But what are the instances in which control system…

How to define states in reinforcement learning?

I am studying reinforcement learning and the variants of it. I am starting to get an understanding of how the algorithms work and how they apply to an MDP. What I don't understand is the process of defining the states of the MDP. In most examples…

Why does the policy network in AlphaZero work?

In AlphaZero, the policy network (or head of the network) maps game states to a distribution of the likelihood of taking each action. This distribution covers all possible actions from that state. How is such a network possible? The possible actions…

How should I encode the structure of a neural network into a genome?

For a deterministic problem space, I need to find a neural network with the optimal node and link structure. I want to use a genetic algorithm to simulate many neural networks to find the best network structure for the problem domain. I've never…

How can Viv generate new code based on some user's query?

I have been looking into Viv, an artificial intelligent agent in development. Here is a demonstration of Viv (by Dag Kittlaus). Based on what I understand, this AI can generate new code and execute it based on a query from the user. What I am…

Is Nassim Taleb right about AI not being able to accurately predict certain types of distributions?

So Taleb has two heuristics to generally describe data distributions. One is Mediocristan, which basically means things that are on a Gaussian distribution such as height and/or weight of people. The other is called Extremistan, which describes a…

How do I keep track of already visited states in breadth-first search?

I was trying to implement the breadth-first search (BFS) algorithm for the sliding blocks puzzle (number type). Now, the main thing I noticed is that, if you have a $4 \times 4$ board, the number of states can be as large as $16!$, so I cannot…

Do self-driving cars resort to randomness to make decisions?

I recently heard someone make a statement that when you're designing a self-driving car, you're not building a car but really a computerized driver, so you're trying to model a human mind -- at least the part of the human mind that can drive. Since…

Using AI to extend an imagine pattern

I have created some nice patterns using the MidJourney tool. I'd like to find a way to extend these patterns, and I was thinking about an AI tool that takes one of these patterns and extends it in all directions surrounding the original…

Is analogy necessary to artificial general intelligence?

Analogies are quite powerful in communication. They allow explaining complex concepts to people with no domain knowledge, just by mapping to a known domain. Hofstadter says they matter, whereas Dijkstra says they are dangerous. Anyway, analogies can…

Do I need classification or regression to predict the availability of a user given some features?

While studying data mining methods I have come to understand that there are two main categories: Predictive methods: Classification Regression Descriptive methods: Clustering Association rules Since I want to predict the user availability…

Is there a trade-off between flexibility and efficiency?

A "general intelligence" may be capable of learning a lot of different things, but possessing capability does not equal actually having it. The "AGI" must learn...and that learning process can take time. If you want an AGI to drive a car or play Go,…
