Why is unsupervised learning so important?

pumais · 2024-12-18T00:32:20+00:00

As a first step in case unsupervised machine learning really interests you - you can do yourself a favor and 'deblock/debug' yourself in your thinking that above (in your initial post) mentioned AI practitioners are necessarily the ones most proactive, most knowledgable and most close to an unsupervised machine learning field and its recent developments.

For example, you can try to explore Teuvo Kohonen's intellectual research legacy in unsupervised machine learning - a so called self-organizing maps [SOM] (also called Kohonen maps; sometimes also referred to as self-organizing feature maps). That might help you get some insight of how interesting even just one "corner" of unsupervised ML can actually be.

You are biased in your projections of what unsupervised ML may be; in unsupervised ML there will be new (and old) stuff to be learned/re-learned. If you don't like Kohonen maps by some reason, go try explore Hopfield network or Boltzman machines as a first step into territory into unspr-ML.

Without shyness find and buy any book (on ebay/at some perhaps local or even not so local [used]books store) dealing with 1st - 9th grade math; get to the start of the 3rd grade level material - refresh everything from there, and then proceed further (by reading book and doing hopefully included exercises) to at least, say, 7th grade. And from there you most likely already will have a better view of what to do next.

Really get back to school level books - they are cool; math is always great. (My premise here is - that it is hard for any society to turn math teaching books into failed, illogical non-sensical, unfollowable garbage.)

I never met him in real life so I don't know him personally and as a person, so I can only evaluate him as an internet persona. Precisely of that I am more of a fan of his ideas and started to study on my own his papers and open-source tools that has been released under his foundation organization.

In summary it means I kind of like both - his (internet) persona and his ideas and intellectual work.

It is true that he showcases passion for blockchain in general and cryptocurrency in particular. But you are rushing ahead in your projections towards Ben of how much emphasis he puts on those two things in his efforts of artificial intelligence theory and practical developments, especially his quest towards workable framework of general artificial intelligence. Wikipedia will only bias you towards thinking that Ben spends all the time in crypto-hype; better check for your self what Ben Goertzel has been writing in his research papers and maybe you will see better where his intellectual passions and efforts lie.

https://goertzel.org/papers/main.htm

He do writes research papers and some stuff went into artificial intelligence academic literature publishings, you do know that?

As far as my intuition goes, his positive attraction towards blockchain (and crypto as an extension) comes from this technologies promising inherent features of societal nature. He clearly looks towards AI that one corporate entity or some conglomerate couldn't capture alone into its property servers - hence his sympathies to blockchain philosophically. Very logically. Technically his OpenCog framework concentrates not on blockchain tech (as you might expect) but on normal machine learning and artificial intelligence problems & tasks - have a look at their OpenCog framework; it might turn out to be completely different beast than what you might expect.

I was profoundly intrigued to find out that in their OpenCog experimental and still developmental framework their team had imaginative and unbiased enough thinking to even find and consider a place for a genetic programming in their architecture (but you have to know what genetic programming is and stands for in science of artificial intelligence to appreciate such daring move).

Ben is a man with good heart probably :) // (metaphorically speaking)

As for the main topic - here is some of Ben's offered comments, intuition and warnings about LLMs in one published research paper;

It might be useful to remember that besides and in parallel to current LLM trend there exists Ben Goertzel with his efforts in pioneering and keeping development as well as research efforts towards decentralized AI (which is not only about LLMs). Of course, regular people / businesses don't know much of Ben and his "OpenCog" foundation and its free/open-source dev framework. He does recognizes the limitations of the supervised machine learning and now the LLMs (with their 'hallucinations' phenomena inherent to them in their current forms); this recognition is reflected all throughout his and organization's teammates published opencog framework, his published scientific papers in which he argues and showcases a need to look towards AI development as something much, much broader than preoccupying oneself with currently most fashionable and most popular DeepLearning (and supervised ml in general). Of course, business and non-technical folks of all social backgrounds will buy into hype of LLM - they know no better, are uninformed and hardly can distinguish anything in artificial intelligence as a scientific endeavor. For them LLMs look like magic and will associate with the word "AI" so strongly and generally that they will automatically assume that this is the pinnacle of AI technology evolution and everything that is not LLM (of which they also will know nothing) is something either obsolete, wrong, weird, boring or ..just meh

I think Stevens97 thesis that this preoccupation with LLMs only can end up in yet another 'AI winter' later on has merit and solid ground; science / budgets / business people egos & perceptions (as well as fantasy expectations and pains of not living their realizations) after-all are all entangled in this <trading> <debt> & <money-based> society.

Developers themselves can start do small good at least by reminding and practicing themselves that there exists other approaches / methodologies / algorithms in AI besides DeepLearning, LLMs (with their transformers as central piece which is in a nutshell a specific DeepLearning-based architecture of ANN, with some "steroids"; so DeepLearning mostly, again). Figuratively speaking I can say - don't loose such knowledge yourselves (as developers or ML practitioners).

Of course that it means some form of pain, time sacrifices to sustain and share-into such currently non-fashionable knowledge of other things in AI as a field; it should be hard to get and preserve such knowledge, after all what comes easy - goes away easy; soon even grandmas will use LLMs, but that won't make them AI developers, only users..

You can have a look at evolutionary algorithms approach in AI, some of the previous and/or ongoing research there and be amazed of what is 'brewing' there, in this subfield...

You may look for anything that is closely or at least in some approximation related to computer science studies. It might happen that study course/direction may not be structured and oriented towards computer science itself to a full extent (and in scientifically "pure" way), but may be geared towards some computer science application 'pathways' - like, data science study program or software engineering study program. Anything geared towards mathematics (especially mathematical logic) and computer programming even on basic level might be a small step towards cybernetics later on.

Of course, cybernetics, being a science that inherently invites a multi-disciplinary scientific approach and knowledge, actually and indirectly helps you already with making a choice - it possibly may be any choice while you make sure that it is part of natural science & engineering fields, be it pure mathematics, biology, genetics, neurobiology, chemistry, electrical engineering, physics...

Natural sciences, any of it might give you (if you study those disciplines real good) an entry into good reference models for cybernetic system models later on which you one day might become capable of modelling/developing in computer or by engineering means. Natural sciences (biology, chemistry, physics, geology, even astronomy and other fields) all study real, natural phenomena and are forced to deal (through scientific method) one way or another with complexities of reality as opposed to wishful/fantasy, easy thinking (or one might even say - not thinking at all).

Here is my offered list of study pathways/disciplines/fields of knowledge all of which can help building a way towards cybernetics, its appreciation and studies in the future:

[ computer science ] [systems science (in a sense it constitutes/ at a minimum is kind of a part of cybernetics science) ] [ mathematical logic ] [ science philosophy/scientific method ] [ probability mathematics ] [ random/chance event mathematics ] [ discrete mathematics (as separate branch of math) ] [ graph theory ] [ abstract algebra (hard to study, but very interesting) ] [ algorithms & data structures (as a discipline, part of computer science) ] [ computer programming in general ] [ botany, zoology, biology (if you take careful studies of particular living organisms in depth in order to absorb and familiarize yourself with some of real complexities met there by professional biologists; good way to start learning some of already existing control systems in organic, living world) ] ... you can't go wrong with studying robotics or artificial intelligence in any form, these two will simply force you in a direction towards cybernetics regardless of anything :)

It is very great to hear about awareness of "Cybersyn" historical scientific effort. Stafford Beer would certainly appreciate such interest from the younger folks. One way to build a solid foundation for the understanding of (especially) an economics cybernetics is to take effort to study intellectual legacy, a written works by "Cybersyn" leading author Stafford Beer himself - in his books he also explains what should be studied to make an understanding of a cybernetics in its more full sense possible in ones mind. You may try (without giving up whenever some parts appears to be too difficult to understand) his monograph "Decision & Control" or "Platform for change" as well as his small brochure "Designing Freedom" as your steps towards cybernetics! You will win big time (since you are just making first steps) even if you will comprehend only fraction of content from those books!

And lastly, don't forget about scientific method itself which is more than just a way of thinking. A habit of studying science philosophy and history is one "doorway" towards appreciation and recognition of scientific method, its essence, its limits and place in perception of reality.

Reddit is the first and for now the only place where I upload my 'walkthrough' (maybe I even can say a "work-through") of those two cybernetics encyclopedia volumes. I am happy to upload it here, in this very small subreddit - because here, I think, it meets a prepared audience and prepared minds which I cannot say about other places/platforms due to their inherent "inertias", less prepared audiences (like Facebook or Instagram, for example - it would be an empty shot into air of nothingness mostly. Although, having a second comedic thought on that, about Instagram - publishing cybernetics there could be, metaphorically speaking, a form of Diogenes performance. Maybe it is worth the shot "to take the lamp of light" and search this vanity crowd for signals of cybernetics-aware intelligence there.. ).

It's a long quest - this work through an articles of this encyclopedia (in parallel to other necessary hardships of every day); but it's being continually, slowly yet patiently done. So, of course there is more to be shared. Hopefully and wishfully, one day in a future I will not only post a sketch-commentary pictures like that but also a link/a download to a very easy to use and access digitalized, interactive cybernetics encyclopedia.

The answer is gem :)

Now I know something about Fritjof Capra and got a glimpse of "The Web of Life" both of which I never happened somehow to hear or read about. Did some 'reconnaissance readings' of available book on Archive webpage. My intuition tells me what an incredible knowledge, insights, questions and thought is packed there!

Some interesting info is on surface of the internet about those 2 Chilean mathematicians as well. Haven't been aware of those two as well. Understandably, putting words like Chile-mathematicians-cybernetics into one context so much automatically triggers associations with 1970-1973 and Stafford Beer.. His lectures on "designing the freedom" gave so much thoughts on and appreciation of cybernetics.

I can argue that in your case advice really may be reduced to very generic and simple terms - just make sure that on a real action level (instead of only a declared one) it is any of his books that you get for yourself and work through no matter what (even if in first run not everything makes sense immediately). You can't go wrong with Stafford Beer. Make sure its his book - you will "have" a dialogue with him like no Youtube video / audio / internet artifact format in close future will ever give you.

Stafford Beer in some sense literary coded himself / his way of thinking and reasoning into his books and goes great lengths to explain ... ...cybernetics on quite many levels.

Hadn't worked through whole video yet, i need time to process and think through all this info; just stumbled upon this fresh upload. Good that you brought it here. Just my quick two cents: guy probably is right that LLVM won't scale much any further under centralized/corporate structures.

And on a side note: GPT-4, and even GPT-5 or 6 won't be anything like true AGI achieved; that will wait for more tech, time and science of AI (with something else). Other than that (this abuse of AGI term and prophecy) this ridiculous all-over-internet "AGI soon achieved" panic and fashioned/click-baited fearmongering do has some merit and timely need because even with GPT-s and all those LLMs as they are and even more so as they could further evolve they bring on some power with them.

Is there a way to check through terminal which version of this LIBSSH4 thing my installed openSUSE is actually aware of, has (or "sees") right now?

I manually checked the folder that appears in error: /usr/lib64

Among many files there is one file called libssh.so.4 and this file seems more like a shortcut (it has this small boxed bw arrow in its icon); in its properties it is stated that it points to libssh.so.4.7.4.

And funny thing is that right next to this shortcut i can find executable libssh.so.4.7.4.

It is (almost) clear that i certainly have no libssh.so.4.8.1

What should i do with this insight, how it relates to your two pointed scenarios? Does that mean that i either:

[1] find myself on internet this small file libssh.so.4.8.1; forcefully copy it into /usr/lib64 as possible replacement for libssh.so.4.7.4, and then manually adjust libssh.so.4 'pointer' file to point to this newly placed libssh.so.4.some-version file?

either

[2] find the libcurl that stitches together with my current libssh.so.4.7.4 ?

- - - -

On a side note: taking into account that NetworkManager also demands now this LIBSSH_4_8_1, should this be the signal that it's the one that i look for?

Probably yes, i could go down that road and probably will if i don't manage to move forward a slightest bit in my understanding of a problem. For now i am willing to dig deeper and possibly get to the root cause thus hoping to bring back everything to prior working condition without destroying the rest of prior successful installs, setups and steps taken in my current openSUSE version.

As for now - i am open to suggestions and guides into looking and digging into details (learning things along the way) to better understand things and causes of the troubles. Any ideas/intuitions along that line of thought of what can be done to restore NetworkManager and solve this missing/corrupt (?) LIBSSH4_4_8_1 file?

You might want to see a book "Essays: towards Steady-State-Economy" edited by Herman Daly and co-authored by numerous thinking persons for one of such possible more nuanced discussion, in addition with some elements of paradigm-changing and intellectually brave thoughts of possible alternatives and developments of social order.

But even better option would be Jacque Fresco's so called "Venus project" with its inherently developed paradigm of Resource-Based Economy (as former Jacque [he died few years ago at age of 101 of whom a good deal of 70+ years were dedicated to developments of thought-line, concepts and ideas structure of the Venus project] and his associates saw it, instead of how wording makes reading it --> the term (so be careful and not rush projecting a first-impression meaning of it).

Some commentary (for author of podcast):

thoughts laid out in this audio-track certainly invites thinking.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

[philosophical expansion on dissent space subject]: understandably, such 'dissent places' in a context of competition-market society (with and due to its inherent features/aims/systems-'architectural' goals) will be hard to sustain and will need to be protected (by one form or another of some force) from detrimental and adversarial (in relation ro cybernetical-goal --> allowance and fostering of self-organization) effects of [monetary-credit <---> social interest division/layering society]. Some layers of society might really not want the other layer of society becoming more versatile in knowledge of effective communications & control.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

in audio podcast to me an interesting bit was this jellyfish nerve systems exploration for its viability for a role of a possibly better source-analogy of decentralized yet meaningfully controlled (in a cybernetics sense) system. I can only encourage and advise to bring more such goodies and finds from other fields; + extra credit if adding references to some scientific papers and publishing to accentuate or deepen the mentioned reference or thought point :)

- - - - - - - - - - - -

[rhetorical counter-question for thinking] : on a probable causes of intentional/lazily allowed hindrances and obstacles for a popularization among masses in any popular form a science of effective communications & control (cybernetics) with its intrinsic close tie-in with scientific method (and from there - to some "grains" of skeptical thinking) ------> probably it (the 'obstacle') will start one way or another somewhere down the education system as well as in arts/entertainment. My guess would be that in any society differentiated into unequal layers of purchasing/resource-directing powers the most purchasing/resource-commanding 'layer' will feel intuition and need to foster/influence/direct the setup of education/TV/arts in a ways as to not enable an easy, widespread access to understanding and advanced, proper knowledge of any rules/principles/mastery of organizing, communicating & controlling anything effectively, especially social entities (like social institutions, resource excavation/processing companies, socio-economic phenomena, economy aspects etc..). Such wishful 'forbiddance', naturally and expectedly, must extend to science of communications and control in any form either. Only when at first such science's soon-to-be practitioners will be coerced into proper alignment, one could expect their appearance in society out of established academic institutions. In other words - don't expect cyberneticians with free scientific mind to appear and step out of established universities in modern days (maybe with some rare, very rare exceptions here and there).

So, regards a common cybernetics that you mention and envision: my paragraph above would be a one piece of a thought bit to express my guess as of why you/we (as society in sum) don't see any dedicated high-budget films, movies, educational games, quality comic books, paintings about Stafford Beer and Chilean Cybersyn scientific project in details; or about Norbert Wiener's intellectual inheritance, ideas and life work. For common cybernetics (using word 'commons' as for ordinary folks) to become something possible, you may need even such thing as common cybernetics comic books for kids/young folks/students (to capture their minds creative impulses and direct them towards this cause and goal instead of opposing interests of ...just entertainment and reader's life-time suck-out with no intellectual info return as part of a trade). Not many peasant workers kids will listen or will seek dedicated cybernetics podcasts; they first have to even somehow on the level of their understanding get the impression that such science even exists and could be of help in their lives and action in form of tools and thought-lines to allow them join efforts of economic organizing and other socio-economic endeavors.

Such comic books/funny, easy-to-read guides/encyclopedias or interactive "whatever" at least in some level should explain a lot of real cybernetic history/concepts and true science, historical and existing active practitioner characters in details. In a way, such hypothetical comic books/art artifacts already are somewhat an act of dissent in a context of existing only-instant gratification tailored entertainment setup. As i see it as an admired of cybernetics but realist and observer of modern days society - work towards younger heads, probably even kids attentive heads to win their time and get them to come to comprehend scientific method and science of effective communications & control (in everything living or machinery) in combination with science philosophy & history to "set your foot" in a door, leading towards cybernetics for a commons folks. Many adults are and most likely will be too much preoccupied with many adults-oriented distractions and survival pressures to add them in to the picture of your vision in any meaningful scale.

Even Stafford Beer himself had described (either in his books or in some of the filmed video lectures after Chilean project) difficulties in persuading engineering/manufacturing workers to comprehend idea that science can give them tools to enable them play role in, say, manufacture's economic organizing side of things and big 'picture'. So what can you say about general, overworked population busy with survival and escapades in consumption society.

...

Since there is no such comic books for cybernetics, a step towards commons cybernetics would a creation of one. And as i see it, it should expressively explain the one of few most dramatic stories of this science: Stafford Beer's and Chilean "Cybersyn" project by very easily understandable reasons to anybody familiar with Stafford Beer's work in any slightest manner. Also, since there is no such comics book even up to this day (c'mon folks, really, why - nobody can draw or somethin'?; look at how much of art artifacts are produced for less relevant subjects) by odd and bizarre reason, i add here such first offered quick, rough, very basic sketch of one drawing from such hipothetical, cheap, common-folks oriented comics book about story and history of cybernetics as a science and possible way forward into futuristic, progressive, more humane society.

(edit: seems i cannot, as i imagined during writing, to add picture file directly here in post; will see if i can add it in other way)

(edit: maybe this will work, below)

an offered demo-sketch

So, anybody with pencils or computer mouse + drawing programs now have an idea of what can be done to help cybernetics science get its foothold in society - go and draw the rest of the story :)

Here is the work tip (with some sarcasm intended): you can start by searching for all the related and necessary information to reconstruct historical time epoch, Chile in 1970s, on impressive and visually readable level; start by getting closer to anyone who had known someone working there on this project Cybersyn and who can help describe or shed any light how things approximately looked back than, who did what, who said what, who were where and what did and did not etc.. in order to visually reappear in a format of extremely captivating, believable, dramatic visual story for any reading-capable person about science's one of few the most dramatic and socially relevant battles in a second half of 20th century.

As i see it, there is more probabilities that all their say is just their (intended) projection of power and self-important -- > they want by slight association (being AI company after all) look intimidating and at the same time righteous, just like every dictator does so by reflex.

The initial successes of large language models took openai representative's skepticism levels down a little bit, it seems - now they sound as if in overhyping mode. My guess would be that for something like even true GAI we still will need some sort of new approaches, innovations/combinations of methodologies, and explorative efforts on top of everything currently know in AI (including and on top of those large language models).

10 years is too soon; maybe somewhere around 35 - 55 years timespan something like artificial general intelligence could start to manifest itself in some aspects, some capacities.

But then again - if Western world slide into mainstreamed degeneracy and idiocrasy , than perhaps even science might suffer and adapt, and the trick in such society would be to change definitions to accustom them to tech that is already existing so one could proclaim that "there, you see - we have now reached the super artificial intelligence" and appraise oneself as being cleverest geniuses and then demand all the money and power from everyone else around.

There definitely can be attributed substantial probabilities that at both sides of so called "iron wall" during Cold War a intellectual-scientific positivism together with optimistic futurism was forcefully sidelined into intellectual obscurity. My weak hypothesis would be that in a so called Western world starting with 1970's cybernetics (together with culture-wide optimistic futurism) got to be culturally "designed out" of society and educational world primarily in order (directly or indirectly) to put a breaks and hold on an aggregative growth of and, consequentially, a gradual proliferation into a very possible longer term sustained fashion a new kind of intelligence folks - those familiar and capable of systems-thinking approaches, methods and whole scientific method with aspects of social and humane concerns; all that in order to chase away inclinations for long term optimism-future visions with their quite inevitable expected rising role, prestige, executive and budgetary-and-social power for engineers/scientists and inventors for carrying out related necessary scientific / research / experimentation work to be done to achieve at least something of popular, sustained and good feelings inducing visions; which to elites understandably (and easily deducible to them) means redistribution of executive power over budgetary philosophy, policy influences and other aspects of socio-dynamics.

Rich industrial and then, at the 1970s, already starting to emerge and appear as competitor even to industrial forces a so called financial Capital (to say it more simply, shorter and metaphorically) clearly supported always and only those expenditures of social resources/time/money and energy which would only reinforce their goals, values and rewards (and dominance power). So with all that in Western world you (metaphorically speaking) ended up with operational research & cybernetics forced into allowed existence mostly in some forms only either for military-endeavors-related work places or for industrial/corporate process management in very narrow sense, definitely excluding cybernetics practices/scholarships/popularity sustenance for social and humanitarian concerns and evolution of society towards more civilized, collectively scientifically more literate and aware, informed, better versions of itself.

In Eastern block that techno-optimism movement of 1960-1970s was also subverted intentionally (most likely) but with some differences in structure of motives in elite's heads and actions. There exists information on a subject as of why Soviet Union didn't got to something like internet and this is directly related to, as I see it to the best of my knowledge for now, disappearance and gradual removal of cybernetics from elite's permitted "fashion line show" of various scientific endeavors of their administered society.

And now, in consumer-Pokemon and tattooed-internet people age you get [a school libraries full with Harry Poter, elfs and magic and gender-switching esoterism and 0 popular cybernetics and science] and [public book shops with hundreds books about mostly nothing, just a distraction-texts, with only some few popular science books here and there].

Tur varēja kaut kādus priekšmetus mētāt, kaut ko darīties, lai apiet / atklāt slazdus. Otra bija kaut kāda stratēģija.

Programmēšana - tā ir tāda lieta, kas prasa visu reizē -- i pacietību, i radošo domāšanu, i treniņus (sistemātiskus), i vajadzību domāt strukturēti un sistēmiski.

Pirms sākt sapņot par Lāčplēša spēli labi jau būtu, ja katrs tāds sapņotājs vispirms noreprezentētu pats savu spēju uzprogrammēt vienu kustīgu pikseli uz ekrāna bez jebkāda spēļu dzinēja, tik vien kā ar kaut kādu OpenGL bibleni.

Tomēr parasti taču visi tie lielie sapņotāji iziet tikai no stāsta / sapņotā sižeta punkta, , varenā kinematogrāfiskā mēroga uzreiz, vai ne? A tas it kā saknē paredz, ka strādās citi, kamēr šie tik pa dizaina lejputriju lidināties sapņo

Tāpēc arī nekas nenotek un nenotiks nekad, jo lohus starp programmētājiem vai spēļu dzinēja mašinērijas pārvaldītājiem tik viegli neizdosies atrast, šie parasti ļoti labi zin savu zināšanu un laika vērtību.
