There are about several thousand active posters on Veeky Forums, with a (supposed) average IQ of 130. This is basically a huge scientific team, so you should be able to solve this:
>Come up with a way to make an AI discover patterns without providing any kind of a pattern beforehand (unsupervised learning)
Two questions: 1. Is the AI allowed to count? 2. Is defining the addition operator considered "providing it with a pattern"?
Nathaniel Roberts
Define "pattern".
Angel Powell
Use an EA that has its fitness bound to how well the end set is sorted. Pretty easy desu. Unless the guidelines for the fitness count as a pattern. Clarification would help.
Jaxon Fisher
1. A pre-defined rule of having it somehow evaluate higher values, or "count", yes, but not with a directly programmed number comparison as that's obvious interference from your side 2. Yes
The set {1, 2, 3} - a pattern with an addition of +1
Ryan Howard
I would venture that it is impossible to devise an unsupervised learning AI
If you're not allowed to "teach" it addition, there is no way for it to organize numbers into a continuum of ascending or descending values. This also would prevent it from checking if two variables were equal.
I could elaborate further.
Elijah Hill
And yet, humans having unsupervised intelligence is a proof that such things do exist.
>If you're not allowed to "teach" it addition, there is no way for it to organize numbers into a continuum of ascending or descending values. Maybe that's the problem to begin with - it's supposed to somehow realize that they have to be organized and organize them itself without our interference, maybe something towards this direction?
>This also would prevent it from checking if two variables were equal. Our universe has differing quantities, the sums of which are measured by gravity and (considering we're not a simulation) without any predefined rule, so there should exist a way

>>Come up with a way to make an AI discover patterns without providing any kind of a pattern beforehand (unsupervised learning) can you prove that humans are not provided with patterns beforehand from birth?
