ECOLOGY OF MOBILE ELEMENTS. “Or they interact as suppression-relevant silencers or as infection-derived modular tools of non-coding RNAs that have built consortia of complementary agents that function together such as retrovirus-derived remnants, such as LTRs, non-LTRs, group II introns, rRNAs, tRNAs, spliceosomes, editosomes, and other counterbalancing modules.” https://lnkd.in/dWwkKpD View in LinkedIn

CATCH-22. "I believe that we are in an intellectual cul-de-sac, in which we model brains and computers on each other, and so prevent ourselves from having deep insights that would come with new models. The first step in this back and forth was made by Alan Turing." (Rodney Brooks, Emeritus professor of robotics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology)."

DNA AS HABITAT. “This change in perspective from molecules to agent-based behaviour will look at interactions of RNA viruses, DNA viruses, RNA-DNA viruses, viral swarms, and sub-viral groups like any ligated RNA stem loop groups that cooperate and coordinate (regulate) within cellular genomes as replication-relevant co-players.” https://lnkd.in/dWwkKpD View in LinkedIn

MEDICAL APPLICATION. “We announced a partnership with the NHS a couple of weeks ago but that was really just to start building a platform that machine learning can be used in. I think the sort of things you’ll see this kind of AI do is medical diagnosis of images and then maybe longitudinal tracking of vital signs or quantified self over time, and helping people have healthier lifestyles. I think that’ll be quite suitable for reinforcement learning.” https://lnkd.in/dT88xiV View in LinkedIn

MEMORY AND IMAGINATION. "During the past few years, there has been a dramatic increase in research examining the role of memory in imagination and future thinking. This work has revealed striking similarities between remembering the past and imagining or simulating the future, including the finding that a common brain network underlies both memory and imagination."

GAME TEST. "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."

FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENCES. "The brain compensates for the slow signal speed by adopting a hierarchical parallel structure, involving successive layers with increasing receptive field and complexity. By comparison, a computer architecture is usually flat and, because of its much faster clock rate, can employ brute-force techniques." https://lnkd.in/daaAAYt View in LinkedIn

SLOW-POKE. "Signals in the brain are transmitted at a snail’s pace — five or six orders of magnitude slower than modern CPUs. This huge difference in communication speed drives vastly different architectures." (Google Deepmind). https://lnkd.in/daaAAYt View in LinkedIn

"BRAINS DIFFER from computers in a number of key respects. They operate in cycles rather than in linear chains of causality, sending and receiving signals back and forth. Unlike the hardware and software of a machine, the mind and brain are not distinct entities. And then there is the question of chemistry." (Google Deepmind). https://lnkd.in/daaAAYt View in LinkedIn
