People who study the brain will tell you that you can't actuallymultitaskin that way. You're really switching back and forth in order from different tasks, just doing it rapidly, and that you don't really do either task as well as you would do them if. you did them one at a time...
For instance, the transformations needed for dates are very different from those used for addresses or emails, but these are domains generally well-known by humans. There seems to be a great potential in language models (Bengio et al., 2003) for data wrangling precisely because they compress ...
While as humans, we can hire nannies or get a babysitter for a night, our feline friends don't have the same privilege. Since those in the animal kingdom can't just leave their kids with a sitter while they meet up with their friends for a drink, they have to resort to other wa...
Most humans look to conserve energy whenever possible. This makes evolutionary sense! But on days where a concerted exercise session is not possible, think the opposite. While it may be cliché, park far from the store. Take stairs whenever possible. Make multiple trips up and down stairs ...
Still, systems like the board-game champion AlphaZero and the increasingly convincing fake-text generator GPT-3 have stoked the flames of debate regarding when humans will create anartificial general intelligence—machines that can multitask, think, and reason for themselves. ...
average human examinee. GPT-3’s inability to produce correct answers in the Letter Counting task on which humans perform fairly well, should probably be attributed to the lack of training in processing this assignment. Finally, in the EI domain, GPT-3 also performs comparably good as humans....
Humans require food and water to function. But, they require much more than that to thrive. If you want to step up your self-discipline game, plan to give yourself the resources you need to succeed. Self-care is the practice of checking in with yourself to determine which of your resourc...
A long-standing goal in artificial intelligence has been to create generally-intelligent agents that can accomplish cognitive tasks as well as humans. Such agents should be able to solve any computer task a human can by communicating via natural language. By automating repetitive tasks and providing...
I’m really into information gap activities, i.e. activities which require students to speak and work with their classmates to obtain the missing information. And once they’ve acquired the information from their classmates, they can fill the “gap” and complete the task or activity. During ...
