What is it good for?

Can machine learning create anything new, or does it only approach existing information?
Henry Ramirez
Answer the same question about humans.
Yes machine learning algorithms can create new concepts, but they are based on the ones it was trained on. Much like our selves. Only difference is ML cam process higher dimensional data as well as larger sets of data much faster.

Right now, Siri can only answer questions. Eventually, will she be able to say everything I want to say, before I say it?
Jason Wilson
It's an integral of two functions that can be converted to a product of functions and back by the Fourier transform and its inverse. That's cool. Also statistics. The "sum" of numbers coming from independent events will have a distribution which is the convolution of the two distributions.
Andrew Hughes
Probably not, there will be no incentive for siri to want to call a girlfriend or set up a volleyball club or set an alarm to wake up. She might predict that you will want these things, but the computer itself won't probably develop these desires as they come from biological needs.
Siri may however be able to make a conjecture about some study or dataset that you would never be able to and then prove it.

Kay you lost me there

>Topological theories
>Poisson sigma models
A bunch of theoretical physics use this or related ideas.

Hey guys, what happens when I take out the asterisk?
Joseph Campbell
i hate math desu
why is math allowed to post on a SCIENCE board????
