Is it possible to train a neural network as new classes are given?
I would like to train a neural network (NN) where the output classes are not (all) defined from the start. More and more classes will be introduced later based on incoming data. This means that, every time I introduce a new class, I would need to…

How can an AI train itself if no one is telling it if its answer is correct or wrong?
I am a programmer but not in the field of AI. A question constantly confuses me is that how can an AI be trained if we human beings are not telling it its calculation is correct?
For example, news usually said something like "company A has a large…

What are the minimum requirements to call something AI?
I believe artificial intelligence (AI) term is overused nowadays. For example, people see that something is self-moving and they call it AI, even if it's on autopilot (like cars or planes) or there is some simple algorithm behind it.
What are the…

What is the actual quality of machine translations?
As an AI layman, till today I am confused by the promised and achieved improvements of automated translation.
My impression is: there is still a very, very far way to go. Or are there other explanations why the automated translations (offered and…

Can neural networks be used to prove conjectures?
Imagine I have a list (in a computer-readable form) of all problems (or statements) and proofs that math relies on.
Could I train a neural network in such a way that, for example, I enter a problem and it generates a proof for it?
Of course, those…

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…

What are "bottlenecks" in neural networks?
What are "bottlenecks" in the context of neural networks?
This term is mentioned, for example, in this TensorFlow article, which also uses the term "bottleneck values". How does one calculate bottleneck values? How do these values help image…

Can a neural network be used to predict the next pseudo random number?
Is it possible to feed a neural network the output from a random number generator and expect it learn the hashing (or generator) function, so that it can predict what will be the next generated pseudo-random number?
Does something like this already…

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…
