00:00:26 Train a world model by observation without relying on gigantic data sets.
00:00:42 Explore innovative ideas that do not necessarily require scaling up.
00:00:49 Implement planning with a learned world model for non-physical systems like the internet or databases.
00:01:13 Develop a system to plan a sequence of actions for problem-solving in various scenarios.
00:01:54 Investigate hierarchical planning to handle complex tasks efficiently.
00:03:00 Learn how to represent hierarchical action plans for robots or intelligent systems.
00:03:13 Train systems to understand hierarchical representations of action plans using deep learning.

… This man is so technical that even Lex didn’t know what to say

Asked for a piece of advice for PhD students, received a research statement as a response.

[diagorasofmels]

his alex net is such a historically important paper, i have read it before but it was taught to me today again by my professor.

Anderson's ACT-R goal stacking maybe. Add time to complete, action wait times/down time, and action ranking. Really want to mimic humans, add a need stack (charging, cleaning sensors, etc.)

[theecharmingbilly]

I got like 50 percent of that... maybe lol.

[edwardmacnab]

plenty of opportunity for Phd's theses in AI and Robotics --plenty of jobs open afterwards also

3:00 - millions of years of evolution. If we come to understand the brain better as a system and be able to directly database adaptations that include such hierarchical understanding and navigation through the world which all animals possess to some degree, it would improve AI as a discipline. Perhaps even render it novel folly in comparison to the super AI 'hardware' we already possess. Nature so often already has solutions to our modern civilized questions.

[senurahansaja]

what does he mean by "how to train a world model by observation"

[ahmadchamseddine]

Why ignoring the whole work of Options in RL !!!

[mauricioalfaro]

Hard to get his accent. Thank you for the subtitles

[bernardofitzpatrick]

I want a real flesh and bones border collie, who shows me what humility, loyalty, intelligence and unconditional love is. 🐶

[Farinata]

So, is he speaking French or English?

Annnnddd that’s your “ai experts” right there. Lost in the sauce
