[Kory] has been experimenting with genetic algorithms. Normally we’d expect his experiments to deal with tuning the variables in a control system or something, but he’s doing something … ...

Deep learning vs. machine learning. I mentioned that deep learning is a form of machine learning. I’ll refer to non-deep machine learning as classical machine learning, to conform to common usage.

That’s because algorithms are still a “black box”: while researchers understand how they generally function, it’s often unclear why a specific output follows a particular input.

The process begins with clearly defining editorial intentions, standards, and boundaries as well as reader goals, and then designing algorithms appropriately. To illustrate the process, consider the ...

If it’s successful, the program is also intended to produce a framework for creating other algorithms that can express key attributes that are aligned with trusted humans, according to DARPA. In ...
