Man v. Machine

Smart machines learn by playing games, making mistakes and learning from them. To solve new challenges not stored in past experience, machines create new paths through data.  Machines learn quickly, forge their way in unanticipated directions through the neural network frameworks constructed by Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.  This burrowing through networks of neuron-aping nodes, called deep-learning sometimes results in […]

The end of computer programming

The brain has functions analogous to a computer –writing (communicating), storing, recalling via a formal syntax.  For decades, human programmers have been coding behavior using languages such as machine-command Assembly Language, and higher-level Basic, C#, Java, HTML/XML, IOS, etc. These language programs consist of step-by-step instructions that instruct a machine to create, manipulate, store and recall […]

Neural Networks

Your brain consists of a network of neural cells that transport and combine charges or message fragments. The network configures new paths to accommodate learning (new information or perceptions). Per Wired Magazine, July 2016 issue, “Neural networks are changing the Internet. Inspired by the networks of neurons inside the human brain, these deep mathematical models can […]
