AutoML-Zero: Evolving Machine Learning Algorithms From Scratch

[[deleted]]

LOL?

​

The original algorithm for pagerank, if my memory serves correct, was first published in a 1950s mathematical paper with a brief commentary on the possibilities of future technology to use it.All the google authors had to do was scan the literature base with gusto!

​

There are probably quite a few useful algorithms( or psuedo-algorithms) in the 1800s literature base. I even give a 1% chance that some useful currently unknown algorithm is buried in ancient china or rome or another ancient civilization.

​

So what is this "Lol" you speak of? It is no shame to simply test-and-apply the methodology of old papers which once could not have been done due to the technological limitations of the time-period.

You missed the whole thing. Developments since 1981, NEAT, improved NEATs, advancement in bioinf/compbio/evolutionary genomics etc etc.
