✂️ Reading #CNBC's coverage of #Alphabet merging #BigMind and #googlebrain.

What caught my eye was the two ways CNBC spelled AI in it's serif font.

I've circled two instances of each.

Is this on the CNBC side or my browser settings, or something else?

Anyone?

@paul Your purview maybe. x

The Forward-Forward Algorithm

"The Forward-Forward algorithm replaces the forward and
backward passes of backpropagation by two forward passes, one with positive
(i.e. real) data and the other with negative data which could be generated by the
network itself."

Geoffrey Hinton is always interesting and provocative.

#Introduction

hi everyone, i recently graduated from Columbia #computerscience with a focus on #machinelearning practice and #theory and am now a research scientist at #GoogleBrain. very interested in (online) #learning theory, long range sequence modeling and time series, resource efficient learning, and learning in #games in particular!

just migrated from sigmoid.social, so sry if you're seeing this again!
