II. Pedia Sapiens: A Planetary Progeny Comes to Her/His Own Actual Factual Twintelligent Knowledge

1. Earthificial Cumulative Cognizance: AI Large Language Models Learn Much Like a Child

Dawid, Anna. Modern applications of machine learning in quantum sciences. arXiv:2204.04198. As this planetary spiral ascent and method proceeds, some thirty contributors across Europe and the USA put together a 288 page, 730 reference volume which covers this entire frontier field to date. In regard, the book is an awesome testimony to our Earthuman abilities to delve deep and scan afar so an ecosmic genesis uniVerse can be able to describe and learn all about itself.

In this book, we provide a comprehensive introduction to the most recent advances in the application of machine learning methods in quantum sciences. We cover the use of deep learning and kernel methods in supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning algorithms for phase classification, representation of many-body quantum states, quantum feedback control, and quantum circuits optimization. Moreover, we introduce and discuss more specialized topics such as differentiable programming, generative models, statistical approach to machine learning, and quantum machine learning. (Abstract)

In the last decade, Machine Learning has been intensively studied and has revolutionized many topics, including computer vision and natural language processing. The new toolbox and set of ideas coming from this field have also found successful applications in the sciences. In particular, ML and DL have been used to tackle problems in the physical and chemical sciences, both in the classical and quantum regimes from particle physics, fluid dynamics, cosmology, many-body quantum systems to quantum computing and quantum information theory [697].

De Marzo, Giordano. et al.. Emergence of ScaleFree Networks in Social Interactions among Large Language Models. arXiv:2312.06619.. arXiv:2312.06619.. Senior theorists at Centro Ricerche Enrico Fermi, Rome and Complexity Science Hub, Vienna (Luciano Pietronero, David Garcia) scope out how a working integration between these conceptual domains (ABMs and LLMs) might be achieved which are currently meshing with each other. In some way they have their own affinities and can result in novel features. This entry is also keyed with the special The Psychology of Collectives issues in Perspectives on Psychological Science for December 2023.

Scale-free networks are iconic examples of emergent behavior such as online social media in which users can follow each other. By analyzing the interactions of many generative agents using GPT3.5-turbo as a language model, we show their ability to not only mimic human linguistic behavior but with collective societal phenomena. We show how renaming agents allows the model to generate a range of realistic scale-free networks. (Excerpts)

Deng, Dong-Ling, et al. Quantum Entanglement in Neural Network States. Physical Review X. 7/021021, 2017. University of Maryland, and Fudan University, Shanghai, theorists identify, develop and extol the practical affinity of neural network cognitive geometries and operational workings with quantum phase phenomena. If to reflect, how might its application to this fundamental cosmic realm imply an intrinsic cerebral character and content? A step further, if global human beings can so readily plumb such depths, and intentionally apply these basic, principled methods, could a creative universe intend for their passage to our cognizance and continuance?

Machine learning, one of today’s most rapidly growing interdisciplinary fields, promises an unprecedented perspective for solving intricate quantum many-body problems. Understanding the physical aspects of the representative artificial neural-network states has recently become highly desirable in the applications of machine-learning techniques to quantum many-body physics. In this paper, we explore the data structures that encode the physical features in the network states by studying the quantum entanglement properties, with a focus on the restricted-Boltzmann-machine (RBM) architecture. Our results uncover the unparalleled power of artificial neural networks in representing quantum many-body states regardless of how much entanglement they possess, which paves a novel way to bridge computer-science-based machine-learning techniques to outstanding quantum condensed-matter physics problems.

DiPaolo, Laura, et al. Active inference goes to school: the importance of active learning in the age of large language models. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. August, 2024. In an article for a Minds in movement: embodied cognition in the age of artificial intelligence issue, this entry by University of Sussex cognitive scientists including Axel Constant and Andy Clark is noted for its meld of embodied thinking with free energies and also for a turn to educational approaches as an appropriate way to try to understand and manage these voluminous AI faculties. In specific regard, the widely used (Maria 1870-1952) Montessori method is extensively reviewed as especially suitable because of its intrinsic open creativity which engages and empowers children in group settings with hands-on activities. See also Differences in spatiotemporal brain network dynamics of Montessori and traditionally schooled students by Paola Zanchi, et al in npj Science of Learning (Vol. 9/Art. 45, 2024, herein).

Human learning often involves embodied interactions with the material world. But today this means an increasing amount of generative artificial intelligence content. Here we ask how to assimilate these resources into our educational practices. Our focus will be on approaches that foster exploration and interaction such as the carefully organized settings of Montessori methods. We surmise that generative AI should be a natural feature in these learning environs to facilitate sequences of prediction error and enabling trajectories of self-correction. (Excerpt)

Dufourq, Emmanuel and Bruce Bassett. EDEN: Evolutionary Deep Networks for Efficient Machine Learning. arXiv:1709.09161. University of Cape Town, African Institute for Mathematical Sciences, theorists add a temporal depth to neural net computations by informing and integrating them with evolutionary phenomena. By turns, life’s quickening emergence might be likened to a grand educative endeavor. See also Evolving Deep Neural Networks at 1703.00548 for a companion effort.

Deep neural networks continue to show improved performance with increasing depth, an encouraging trend that implies an explosion in the possible permutations of network architectures and hyperparameters for which there is little intuitive guidance. To address this increasing complexity, we propose Evolutionary DEep Networks (EDEN), a computationally efficient neuro-evolutionary algorithm which interfaces to any deep neural network platform, such as TensorFlow. Evaluation of EDEN across seven image and sentiment classification datasets shows that it reliably finds good networks -- and in three cases achieves state-of-the-art results -- even on a single GPU, in just 6-24 hours. Our study provides a first attempt at applying neuro-evolution to the creation of 1D convolutional networks for sentiment analysis including the optimisation of the embedding layer. (Abstract)

Quantum information technologies and intelligent learning systems are both emergent technologies that are likely to have a transformative impact on our society. In a growing body of recent work, researchers have been probing the question of the extent to which these fields can indeed learn and benefit from each other. Quantum ML explores the interaction between quantum computing and ML, investigating how results and techniques from one field can be used to solve the problems of the other. Beyond the topics of mutual enhancement—exploring what ML/AI can do for quantum physics and vice versa—researchers have also broached the fundamental issue of quantum generalizations of learning and AI concepts. This deals with questions of the very meaning of learning and intelligence in a world that is fully described by quantum mechanics. (Abstract excerpts)

Eacersall, Douglas, et al. The ETHICAL Framework for Responsible Generative AI Research Use. arXiv:2501.09021. Fifteen Australian cyberscholars across fields from learning methods to nursing schools propose a considerate array of human scale check points to begin to contend with and rein in this regnant future phase of agent-like algorithmic agents and chatty programs.

The rapid adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in research presents both opportunities and ethical challenges that should be carefully navigated. Although GenAI tools can enhance research through automation of tasks, their use raises concerns about aspects such as data accuracy, privacy, bias, and research integrity. This paper develops the ETHICAL framework as a practical guide with seven key principles: Examine policies and guidelines, Think about social impacts, Harness understanding of the technology, Indicate use, Critically engage with outputs, Access secure versions, and Look at user agreements. We present this ETHICAL example as a pathway toward responsible innovation in research methodologies. (Excerpt)

Eacersall, Douglas, et al. The ETHICAL Framework for Responsible Generative AI Research Use. arXiv:2501.09021.. Fifteen cultural scholars mainly in Australia along with Canada, Malayasia and the Philippines post a thorough cast of behavioral standards and regulations so to insure at this early stage that trustworthy results are achieved.

The rapid adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) presents both many opportunities and ethical issues that should be carefully navigated. This paper develops the ETHICAL guide as a practical guide for responsible GenAI use by way of seven key principles: Examine policies and guidelines, Think about social impacts, Harness understanding of the technology, Indicate use, Critically engage with outputs, Access secure versions, and Look at user agreements. (Excerpt)

The ETHICAL Framework presented in this article stands as a foundational resource for researchers navigating the ethical challenges associated with GenAI. While some guidelines exist, this framework progresses beyond awareness to practical action. The ETHICAL Framework explicitly equips researchers with actionable principles, providing clear guidance on ethical GenAI use in research, thereby supporting both integrity and impact. (17)

Farisco, Michele, et al. Is artificial consciousness achievable? Lessons from the human brain. arXiv:2405.04540. We cite these neuroscience considerations of a potential AI sentience by MF, Uppsala University, Kathinka Evers, Biology and Molecular Genetics Institute, Italy and Jean-Pierre Changeux, Institut Pasteur, Paris for themselves and because the third author is a renowned octogenarian authority (search).

We consider the question of developing artificial consciousness from an evolutionary perspective, taking the sentient human brain as a reference. Several structural and functional features that appear to reach human-like complex awareness are identified which AI research needs to take into account. Even if AI is limited in its ability to emulate human consciousness for both intrinsic (structural and architectural) and extrinsic (scientific and technological knowledge) reasons, taking inspiration from cerebral attributes is a strategy towards perceptive AI. Therefore, we recommend neuroscience-inspired caution in talking about artificial consciousness. In regard, we propose to specify what is common and what differs in AI conscious processing from our full human experience. (Abstract)

Frank, Michael. Baby steps in evaluating the capacities of large language models.. Nature Reviews Psychology. 2/6, 2023. A Stanford University child psychologist offers another recognition that an intrinsic affinity seems to be apparent between such ChatGPT resources and how children achieve literacy and factual comprehension. It is then recommended that an integrative accord between the two general approaches would be beneficial. See also Variability and Consistency in Early Language Learning: The Wordbank Project by MF and colleagues (MIT Press, 2021).

Large language models show remarkable capacities, but it is unclear what abstractions support their behaviour. Methods from developmental psychology can help researchers to understand the representations used by these models, complementing standard computational approaches — and perhaps leading to insights about the nature of mind.

Gencaga, Deniz. Information-Theoretic Approaches in Deep Learning. Entropy. August, 2018. An Antalya Bilim University, Turkey informatics engineer proposes a special issue with this title. It has a June 30, 2019 closing date for submissions.

Deep Learning (DL) has revolutionized machine learning, especially in the last decade. As a benefit of this unprecedented development, we are capable of working with very large Neural Networks (NNs), composed of multiple layers (Deep Neural Networks), in many applications, such as object recognition-detection, speech recognition and natural language processing. Although many Convolutive Neural Network (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) based algorithms have been proposed, a comprehensive theoretical understanding of DNNs remains a major research area. In this Special Issue, we would like to collect papers focusing on both the theory and applications of information-theoretic approaches, such as Mutual Information. The application areas are diverse and include object tracking/detection, speech recognition, natural language processing, neuroscience, bioinformatics, engineering, finance, astronomy, and Earth and space sciences.
