Harmonia Philosophica Paper Author: Spyridon Kakos Abstract: Progress – scientific or of any other kind – happens when current norms are questioned and new ways of thinking arise. Things that were considered obvious become obsolete and people start viewing the world in a different way that was never there. This kind of change can only happen via irrationality; logic is always based on the current norms, and it cannot be used to break the box in which our thoughts are lost. Th

Spiking neural networks, which mimic the structure and function of a natural nervous system, are powerful, fast, and energy-efficient. One key challenge is how to train such complex systems. An interdisciplinary research team has now developed and successfully implemented an algorithm that achieves such training. It can be used to train spiking neural networks to solve complex tasks with extreme energy efficiency. (source) We try to build computers with brain like our own. In

Researchers have now developed a technique that advances the ability of these tools, such as ChatGPT, to make compositional generalizations. This technique, Meta-learning for Compositionality, outperforms existing approaches and is on par with, and in some cases better than, human performance.
