​​Google’s progress on AutoML

Hint: it’s beating some old competition solutions.

Critics: AI competitions don’t produce useful models

Post, suggesting a viewpoint that AI competitions never seem to lead to products, how the one can overfit on a hold out test set, and why #Imagenet results since the mid-2010s are suspect.

Abstraction and Reasoning Challenge winners

There is a very interesting challenge by #Francois Chollet about can a computer learn complex abstract tasks through maybe reasoning from a few examples?

And here is the first place with descriptions!
https://www.kaggle.com/c/abstraction-and-reasoning-challenge/discussion/154597

But author doubts about his solution brings us to AGI, but it's interesting to look through :)

"This DSL is solved by enumeration (exploiting duplicates) + a greedy stacking combiner. Everything is implemented efficiently in C++ (with no dependencies) and running in parallel."

There are 10k lines of code and a bunch of tricks that you can read about on the link.

Though second and third place also interesting – you can find it in discussion section here https://www.kaggle.com/c/abstraction-and-reasoning-challenge/discussion

The 3d place even almost don't use ML :)

So, nothing close to general reasoning here : )
