How to select number of hidden layers and number of memory cells in an LSTM?
I am trying to find some existing research on how to select the number of hidden layers and the size of these of an LSTM-based RNN.
Is there an article where this problem is being investigated, i.e., how many memory cells should one use? I assume it…

What are some well-known problems where neural networks don't do very well?
Background: It's well-known that neural networks offer great performance across a large number of tasks, and this is largely a consequence of their universal approximation capabilities. However, in this post I'm curious about the…

What are examples of promising AI/ML techniques that are computationally intractable?
To produce tangible results in the field of AI/ML, one must take theoretical results under the lens of computational complexity.
Indeed, minimax effectively solves any two-person "board game" with win/loss conditions, but the algorithm quickly…

What are the current theories on the development of a conscious AI?
What are the current theories on the development of a conscious AI? Is anyone even trying to develop a conscious AI?
Is it possible that consciousness is an emergent phenomenon, that is, once we put enough complexity into our system, it will become…

How could we build a neural network that is invariant to permutations of the inputs?
Given a neural network $f$ that takes as input $n$ data points: $x_1, \dots, x_n$. We say $f$ is permutation invariant if
$$f(x_1 ... x_n) = f(\sigma(x_1 ... x_n))$$
for any permutation $\sigma$.
How could we build such a neural network? The…

Is there any research on the development of attacks against artificial intelligence systems?
Is there any research on the development of attacks against artificial intelligence systems?
For example, is there a way to generate a letter "A", which every human being in this world can recognize but, if it is shown to the state-of-the-art…

Where can I find the proof of the universal approximation theorem?
The Wikipedia article for the universal approximation theorem cites a version of the universal approximation theorem for Lebesgue-measurable functions from this conference paper. However, the paper does not include the proofs of the theorem. Does…

Are there other approaches to deal with variable action spaces?
This question is about Reinforcement Learning and variable action spaces for every/some states.
Variable action space
Let's say you have an MDP, where the number of actions varies between states (for example like in Figure 1 or Figure 2). We can…

How do neural networks play chess?
I have been spending a few days trying to wrap my head around how and why neural networks are used to play chess.
Although I know very little about how the game of chess works, I can understand the following idea. Theoretically, we could make a…

Where can I find the original paper that introduced RNNs?
I was able to find the original paper on LSTM, but I was not able to find the paper that introduced "vanilla" RNNs. Where can I find it?

How can I automate the choice of the architecture of a neural network for an arbitrary problem?
Assume that I want to solve an issue with a neural network that either I can't fit to existing architectures (perceptron, Konohen, etc) or I'm simply not aware of the existence of those or I'm unable to understand their mechanics and I rely on my…
