A theory of the learnable Valiant, CACM 1984 (Also available in ) Today’s paper choice comes from the recommend study list of Prof. Margaret Martonosi’s 2015 Princeton course on “Great moments in computing.” A list I’m sure we’ll be dipping into again! There is a rich theory of computation when it comes to what we … Continue reading A theory of the learnable

Concrete problems in AI safety
Concrete problems in AI safety Amodei, Olah, et al., arXiv 2016 This paper examines the potential for accidents in machine learning based systems, and the possible prevention mechanisms we can put in place to protect against them. We define accidents as unintended and harmful behavior that may emerge from machine learning systems when we specify … Continue reading Concrete problems in AI safety
Computing machinery and intelligence
Computing machinery and intelligence A.M. Turing, MIND 1950 This is most certainly a classic paper. We’ve all heard of the ‘Turing Test,’ but have you actually read the paper where Alan Turing defines it? I confess I hadn’t until recently, and there’s a whole lot more to it than I was expecting. Yes, it describes … Continue reading Computing machinery and intelligence
Using word embedding to enable semantic queries on relational databases
Using word embedding to enable semantic queries in relational databases Bordawekar and Shmeuli, DEEM'17 As I'm sure some of you have figured out, I've started to work through a collection of papers from SIGMOD'17. Strictly speaking, this paper comes from the DEEM workshop held in conjunction with SIGMOD, but it sparked my imagination and I … Continue reading Using word embedding to enable semantic queries on relational databases

Artificial Intelligence and life in 2030
Artificial Intelligence and Life in 2030 Stanford University, 2016 Strictly speaking, this isn’t a research paper, it’s a report from the Stanford University One hundred year study of Artificial Intelligence, “a long-term investigation of the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its influences on people, their communities, and society.” A 100 year study is hard … Continue reading Artificial Intelligence and life in 2030
Towards deep symbolic reinforcement learning
Towards deep symbolic reinforcement learning Garnelo et al, 2016 Every now and then I read a paper that makes a really strong connection with me, one where I can't stop thinking about the implications and I can't wait to share it with all of you. For me, this is one such paper. In the great … Continue reading Towards deep symbolic reinforcement learning
