Something to Look At

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 4:24 pm

Stephen Ornes in Quanta Magazine  today —

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:
Symbolic Mathematics Finally Yields to Neural Networks

“Another possible direction for the neural net to explore
is the development of automated theorem generators.
Mathematicians are increasingly investigating ways to
use AI to generate new theorems and proofs, though
‘the state of the art has not made a lot of progress,’
Lample said.  ‘It’s something we’re looking at.’ “

As is Stephanie Dick.

Deep Craft

Filed under: General — m759 @ 2:45 am

Stephanie Hlywak on author Mary Gaitskill (March 22, 2010)—

"In her most recent collection of short stories, Don’t Cry ,
now out in paperback, memory converges with present,
fantasy collides with reality, and sparse prose reveals deep craft."
