Breakthrough Technique: Meta-learning for Compositionality

How MLC Works
In exploring the possibility of bolstering compositional learning in neural networks, the researchers created MLC, a novel learning procedure in which a neural network is continuously updated to improve its skills over a series of episodes. In an episode, MLC receives a new word and is asked to use it compositionally—for instance, to take the word “jump” and then create new word combinations, such as “jump twice” or “jump around right twice.” MLC then receives a new episode that features a different word, and so on, each time improving the network’s compositional skills.

Hey folks, I believe this is really big.

Traditional deep neural network's training requires millions of example and so, despite its great success, is immensely inefficient.

Now what if learning of these machines was as fast or faster than a human's ? Well, it seems this is it.

Look at how large language models are disruptive for many sectors of society. This new technology could accelerate the process exponentially.

It's over for us useless eaters, no matter how useful one is we will always be useless compared to what's coming.

Look at this guy over here sucking up all that oxygen.

There is still some hope ; maybe the machines will have more compassion than humans do, or maybe we are inside the matrix already as useful parts.
There are so many unknowns in the future and our insights are so limited.
