right: the modem machine learning take on innateness is to pretrain a model on a massive corpus for a specific language. but is that the right *kind* of innateness? certainly it’s not what humans are born with.https://twitter.com/martingoodson/status/1193188416189583360 …

Humans are born with millions of years of evolution. Since replicating that process in a literal way would be impractical, any kind of innateness we give AI won't be the sort that humans are born with.

this is like arguing that airplanes will never fly. surely we can reverse engineer some evolution’s endproducts and take hints from those in order to improve our systems.

Not trying to say it's impossible. Merely that "pretrained DL isn't the human kind of innateness" is only a priori true in that rather literal sense. IMHO In terms of the products of the evolution, it's probably a step in the right direction.

That’s actually a fantastic question: what is the minimum amount of innate knowledge and models to give a multi-purpose agent? We should be talking more about knowledge representation

i made a specific proposal here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.05667 in the list of 10 elements, which I originally proposed at my debate with @ylecun (which you can find on youtube):pic.twitter.com/tngmg5ImmB
