How code can build on code / how the architecture impact of learned intelligence impacts future architectural impacts. We start with the same wiring but early experiences change the trajectory for future architectural changes.

Okay, thanks. That's really the central question we're after here - how much prior knowledge is prewired from genomic info and how much is learned

No problem. To me it's purely information that builds a neural architecture that facilitates intelligence creation. Based on experience etc.

That's the position Bengio and
@ylecun are arguing for - as few priors as possible and mainly for meta-learning rather than specific knowledge.@GaryMarcus argues for more prior knowledge pre-wired in from the genome2 replies 4 retweets 10 likes -

But does the genome really encode "knowledge?" The Nativists assume, yet never explain, how knowledge is directly encoded in the genome. This preformist assumption contradicts the self-organized and pattern-forming dynamics of real developmental systems:https://twitter.com/freerecall/status/1204039449371242497?s=19 …

it's a great question. In some cases, the genome encodes pretty specific stuff. Dams beavers build are hardwired And if a mouse that builds a short burrow is raised by long-burrowing moms, it still builds short burrows. Cool stuff from Hoekstra:https://hoekstra.oeb.harvard.edu/

How much of this can be via genome-encoded reward fxn? For mouse who likes short borrows “ugh, I hate wide open spaces” & “mmm, I’ve burrowed a just bit and now I’m so satisfied”. Vs. pre-coded program of actions. If so, still lots of learning involved, just w/ specific cost fxn.

Well, that's the question! We know many of those behaviors can be pre-wired - we don't know how!

I don't know what
@GaryMarcus means by "pre-wired:" early in development? Species-typical? Universal?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Wired independently of experience, but subject to rewiring (calibration, learning, plasticity, etc)

Or itself driving the specific nature of the subsequent learning
