This is in contrast to rule-based, simple machine learning and deep learning approaches, where the humans only create rules and label data at the start of the process. For example, if you had the sentence “We Will Help Tom Ford Escape from New York”, and your system hadn’t seen any examples of “Tom Ford” or “Ford Escape”, you will need human input to build the knowledge. Adaptive learning systems require the least human effort because they only require human input when it matters most and continually expand their knowledge when new information is encountered. As we show here, they are also the most accurate. They combine the three other types of machine intelligence, adding new types of ‘unsupervised machine learning’ and methods for optimizing the input from multiple, possibly disagreeing, humans. http://prsm.tc/y611MD --------------------- 7 Everyday Ways You Are Lowering Your Intelligence 1. Saturated fat reduces cognitive flexibility 2. Multimedia multitasking shrinks the brain 3. Googling it makes you feel cleverer than you are 4. Too much sugar damages memory 5. Experts know less than they think 6. Poor sleep ruins thinking skills 7. Physical exhaustion hits mental performance http://prsm.tc/xcYT9V --------------------- The Master Algorithm – new book by top Machine Learning researcher Pedro Domingos If data-ism is today's rising philosophy, this book will be its bible. The quest for universal learning is one of the most significant, fascinating, and revolutionary intellectual developments of all time. A groundbreaking book, The Master Algorithm is the essential guide for anyone and everyone wanting to understand not just how the revolution will happen, but how to be at its forefront. http://prsm.tc/l1JSOT --------------------- The World's Smartest News Reader It’s called Prismatic, and it may have solved one of the Internet’s oldest problems. http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2013/07/the_world_s_smartest_news_reader_prismatic_has_solved_one_of_the_internet.html
