Do you work with audio data? If we add a Keras layer to convert raw audio to Mel spectrograms, would you be interested?

AGI on the Horizon: Yet Bot Detection Remains Challenging
By
–
Yes, we may be on the cusp of AGI. But using AI to automatically detect and block bots like this remains elusive, due to their use of a remarkably sophisticated evasion technique — whitespace.

XOR Representability vs Efficiency in Program Search
By
–
There's no connection, XOR was a representability issue. It's easy to fit a curve to a XOR dataset. That said, doing so is tremendously inefficient compared to program search over a DSL that just has NOR, for instance. So if you want a parallel, it's there.

Transformers Excel at Interpolation but Struggle with Symbolic Learning
By
–
Not saying that Transformers are worse than RNNs, mind you — Transformers are *the best* at *what deep learning does* (generalizing via interpolation), specifically *because* of their strongly interpolative architecture prior (MHA). They are, however, worse at learning symbolic

RNNs: The Core Principle of Recurrence and Latent Space Iteration
By
–
RNNs are… recurrent. It's right there in the name. That was the entire intuition behind creating them: iterating in latent space, like the brain.

Transformers’ Interpolative Architecture and Limitations for Symbolic Tasks
By
–
Ironically, Transformers are even worse in that regard — mostly due to their strongly interpolative architecture prior. Multi-head-attention literally hardcodes sample interpolation in latent space. Also, the fact that recurrence is a really helpful prior for symbolic programs.

RNNs and Universal Computation: A 2013-2016 Perspective
By
–
From 2013 to 2016 I was actually quite convinced that RNNs could be trained to learn any program. After all, they're Turing-complete (or at least some of them are) and they learn a highly compressed model of the input:output mapping they're trained on (rather than mere pointwise

The Limitations of Curve-Fitting for Symbolic Reasoning Tasks
By
–
The "aha" moment when I realized that curve-fitting was the wrong paradigm for achieving generalizable modeling of problems spaces that involve symbolic reasoning was in early 2016. I was trying every possible way to get a LSTM/GRU based model to classify first-order logic

Generalization vs Overfitting: Understanding Model Performance Gaps
By
–
Lack of generalization != overfitting. Lack of generalization could come from overfitting, underfitting, concept drift, OOD, or could come up for a model where there's no "fitting" at all. It just means that the model cannot operate in situations it hasn't been prepared for

Limitations of Training AI Models on Synthetic and Video Data

But you can't just fit a big curve to a bunch of UE5 screencaps and YouTube videos and expect a generalizable model of the real world. That is not how these models work.
