When was the master algorithm first conceptualized as something that was within the realm of reason? It was in the 50s. Computer science is really an offshoot of World War II.

This master algorithm, which many experts, whose views Domingos gives a hearing, think is a Computer Age chimera, would allow machines to learn without human assistance. “Every algorithm has an input ...

Computers and the algorithms they run are precise, perfect, meticulously programmed, and austere. That’s the idea, anyway. But there’s a burgeoning, alternative model of programming and ...

Take the evolutionaries. Led by the University of Michigan's John Holland until his death in August 2015, they believe that evolution, not the brain, is the master algorithm.Backpropagation may be ...

The connection is backpropagation, which is really what drives deep learning. Often they are convinced that this is the master algorithm, and that they will solve the whole learning problem with it.

This powerful “master algorithm” is at the heart of work postulated by Pedro Domingos, author of The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World.

Is Machine Learning Master Algorithm the next big wave for enterprises? What is the reality? Going forward, we live in a world where there are unlimited computational resources and connections ...

Professor Pedro Domingos talked about his book [The Master Algorithm], in which he says technology is close to achieving the ultimate learning algorithm that is capable of discovering any ...
