The abstract reasoning corpus (ARC) challenge by Francois Chollet has gained renewed attention due to the 1M prize announcement. This challenge is interesting to me because the idea of “abstraction” as “synthesizing cognitive programs” is something my team has worked on and
I always look forward to your writings. Your work at Vicarious and now Deep Mind have influenced greatly my thoughts and understanding of ML. Keep up the great work, Dr George!
My intuition is real brains perform massive parallel of a search algorithm, applying known/learned "motions", not just prediction or pattern matching as usually assumed.
Like (mini?)columns are an army of simpletons each attempting to do its own unique stupid, simple thing.
PS more precisely by search I mean a path search between a source and a target state. Source(state0)->action1->state1-action2->state2->... actionN->target state.
"Pure reason you Kan’t"
This is the best part. :P
“Concepts as cognitive programs”, I like this phrase, I think the ARC challenge is really going to be an induction challenge.
