• Gen Alpha will grow up with Causal AI (Re: Is Causal AI simply ReLU (Geoffrey E. Hinton 2010))

    Hi,

    Looks like the Causal AI viewpoint on neural
    networks makes people comfortable. Some
    work from Pittsburgh:

    So Gen Alpha will grow up with Causal AI,
    while Gen Z just botched Scryer Prolog, its
    definitively a dead horse now?

    Bye

    Hi,

    Geoffrey E. Hinton, the Nobel Prize winner
    for AI. He was already beating the drums
    for ReLU in 2010:

    HRectified Linear Units Improve Restricted Boltzmann Machines
    Geoffrey E. Hinton & Vinod Nair - 2010 https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~fritz/absps/reluICML.pdf

    Because ANNs (Artificial Neural Networks) were originally
    designed with other functions, e.g. with Logistic function:

    An artificial neuron is a mathematical function conceived
    as a model of a biological neuron in a neural network. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_neuron

    If you populate additive factor graphs with log P,
    you basically get multiplicative factor graphs.
    So an ANN can express belief networks, right?

    Bye

    P.S.: What is all the hype about Causal AI, and
    the Ladder of Causation |a la Judea Pearl?
