Today's the day!!! Watch OpenAI Five Finals here, starting 11:30a PT: twitch.tv/openai. This event will be the first time an AI has attempted to play the world champions in an esports game — and that won't be all we show today.
i.e. if you are an engineering manager or a research manager and love the idea of making machine learning do what seems impossible today, we should chat!
On April 13th, we'll host OpenAI Five Finals, a live event with surprises in store. One highlight will be playing against @OGesports, the Dota 2 world champions. Attend in person or watch on Twitch: openai.com/blog/openai-five-…
"In general, anything that requires reasoning—like programming, or applying the scientific method—long-term planning, and algorithmic-like data manipulation, is out of reach for deep learning models, no matter how much data you throw at them." — blog.keras.io/the-limitation…
.@ilyasut and I, together with awesome OpenAI coworkers, are starting a new team: the Reasoning team. Many people think deep networks are inherently unable to reason — we'll find out!
We're looking for a great people manager to join us. Interested? Email me: gdb@openai.com.
Had a good conversation with @AllenSaakyan. Includes a lot about OpenAI, but also covers some of my personal background (including my original career plan of being an mathematician operating on a 100+ year timeframe): youtube.com/watch?v=n3PRKJwq…
I asked @ilyasut how to set neural network init. He accidentally replied with a poem:
You want to be on the edge of chaos
Too small, and the init will be too stable, with vanishing gradients
Too large, and you'll be unstable, due to exploding gradients
You want to be on the edge
