According to the President of MIT, state of the art changes with research. In other words, data may not always be king. Given that our brains themselves do not require a lot of data to learn, the better we come to understand its processes, the more closely we will be able to mimic it in new types of algorithms. Researchers at MIT have been developing probabilistic learning models, inspired by the way children quickly generalize their knowledge from exposure to just a few examples…read more. Related article
