ULTIMATE CHALLENGE. “Go has always been the pinnacle of perfect information games. It’s way more complicated than chess in terms of possibility, so it’s always been a bit of a holy grail or grand challenge for AI research, especially since Deep Blue.” https://lnkd.in/dT88xiV View in LinkedIn

HUMAN PARITY. “We tested this agent on the challenging domain of classic Atari 2600 games. We demonstrate that the deep Q-network agent, receiving only the pixels and the game score as inputs, was able to surpass the performance of all previous algorithms and achieve a level comparable to that of a professional human games tester across a set of 49 games, using the same algorithm, network architecture and hyperparameters." https://lnkd.in/daWaSDk View in LinkedIn

NOT PRE-PROGRAMMED. "As opposed to other AIs, such as IBM's Deep Blue or Watson, which were developed for a pre-defined purpose and only function within its scope, DeepMind claims that their system is not pre-programmed: it learns from experience, using only raw pixels as data input." https://lnkd.in/dRxFGp6 View in LinkedIn

RNA DRIVES PROCESSES. “This world of life processes is dominated by RNA, whereas DNA remains a habitat, an ecosphere of interacting RNAs that behave like inhabitants and as genetic information storage.” https://lnkd.in/dWwkKpD View in LinkedIn

ARCHITECTURE. "We extend the capabilities of neural networks by coupling them to external memory resources, which they can interact with by attentional processes. The combined system is analogous to a Turing Machine or Von Neumann architecture but is differentiable end-to-end, allowing it to be efficiently trained with gradient descent. Preliminary results demonstrate that Neural Turing Machines can infer simple algorithms such as copying, sorting, and associative recall from input and output examples."

SHORT- AND LONG-TERM. “Such mobile genetic elements shape both genome architecture and regulation. Therefore they are agents of change not only over evolutionary time but also in real time as domesticated agents.” https://lnkd.in/dWwkKpD View in LinkedIn

A FIRST DEFEAT. "In October 2015, a computer Go program called AlphaGo, powered by DeepMind, beat the European Go champion Fan Hui, a 2 dan (out of 9 dan possible) professional, five to zero. This is the first time an artificial intelligence (AI) defeated a professional player." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_DeepMind View in LinkedIn

MOBILE GENETIC ELEMENTS. “Some cut and paste, others copy and paste and both spread within the genome. They modify host genetic identities through insertion, recombination, or the epigenetic regulation of genetic content. They co-evolve with the host, interact in a modular manner and additionally generate highly adaptive immune systems for host organisms from the simplest prokaryotes (CRISPRs/Cas system) to the most complex eukaryotes (VJD-Systems).” https://lnkd.in/dWwkKpD View in LinkedIn

SELF-TAUGHT. "The algorithms we build are capable of learning for themselves directly from raw experience or data, and are general in that they can perform well across a wide variety of tasks straight out of the box." https://deepmind.com/ View in LinkedIn

GENOMIC PARASITES. “We now recognize that DNA is not solely a genetic storage medium but is also a kind of ecological habitat. Many of such mobile genetic elements have been found within the last 40 years as inhabitants of all genomes.” https://lnkd.in/dWwkKpD View in LinkedIn
