Agreed. Also, sentences like "I mastered the ability to combine several strategies, each with varying strengths and weaknesses, highlighting the strengths and nullifying the weakne…

One recent development in the field of artificial neural networks is "Deep Learning": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdIURAu1-aU&feature=playe... !

True, but that fact only becomes useful after you already have it running on a virtual machine. Chicken-and-egg problem.

Recreating the source code by itself does not, in this case, constitute a "model". In order to actually run that binary, you also need to create a virtual computer for it to inhabi…

By "looping", I'm assuming you mean "recurrent"? If so, you might be interested these: http://www.idsia.ch/~juergen/rnn.html http://www.lsm.tugraz.at/learning/framework.html http:/…

The first study you link to does not appear to address the correlation/causation issue whatsoever. Specifically: "The study acknowledges that people who regularly run marathons, li…

I wonder how much of this is simply due to poker's recent surge in popularity, thus creating a much larger pool of potential talent to draw from.

A possible (somewhat sci-fi) future extension to this idea would be directly monitoring the brain of the subject, in conjunction with eye movements, in an attempt to quickly detect…

I heartily agree with your skepticism. In my opinion, rather than attempting to simulate progressively larger brains, we should instead focus on really nailing the details of small…

Interesting idea! I wonder if that's why I always feel so much more awake and focused after taking a shower?

I agree that analysis of neural networks is not easy, but there are certainly ways to do it: there is no way to find out the relative significance of the input variables and how th…

What worked for me was proper diet and exercise. I used to suffer from pretty bad panic attacks that would occur randomly, and it was really debilitating. The thing that really hel…

I agree with you in principle, however, their simulations are approximations, not identical. From their website FAQ: Q: Do you believe a computer can ever be an exact simulation of…

I'm very curious if, during this demonstration, you were actually allowed to directly interact with the system or not?

I got 97% on 'Particle Pro'

You are correct, I should have read more carefully.

Nevermind, you cited it in your paper... :P

Neat stuff! One thing you might want to look into (if you haven't already) is Probabilistic Incremental Program Evolution (PIPE) by Schmidhuber.
