        Not making it a numerical target. Enabling coarse evaluation.

        1. Standard datasets are biased toward a certain data distribution (e.g. photographer bias) 2. Benchmarks don't incentivize generalization tests like out-of-distribution or zero-shot 3. The information bottleneck might be a good way to regularize nets exploiting spurious stats

        How is this news or research considering how ML models are defined or what they intend?

        Isn’t that the monster we created with NASNet and continued on to use with RL for augments? Oh wait...

        Yawn. AKA "memorising the training set", "polynomial curve fitting with a poly order > no. data points". A real generalisation contains less info than the data/lower level of abstraction.

        ... and pre-processing the data (say, a set of images) into "basics" (e.g. vector edges/planes) both drastically reduces the total information in the set, as well as introduces a layer of abstraction. The reward function then becomes (partly) "dump as much info as possible".

        The brain ignores random stuff. It learns only the perfection that is in the world. How? Because it relies exclusively on timing for learning. It rejects purely random correlations between events.
