Quotes About Algorithm

In order to decide whether or not an algorithm will actually work, one needs insights, not just another algorithm.

The viewpoint is that it is simply the logical structure of the algorithm that is significant for the 'mental state' it is supposed to represent, the particular physical embodiment of that algorithm being entirely irrelevant.

WHAT PRECISELY IS an algorithm, or a Turing machine, or a universal Turing machine? Why should these concepts be so central to the modern view of what could constitute a 'thinking device'?

Another example of a class of well-defined mathematical problems that have no algorithmic solution is the tiling problem. This is formulated as follows: given a set of polygonal shapes, decide whether those shapes will tile the plane; that is, is it possible to cover the entire Euclidean plane using only these particular shapes, without gaps or overlaps?

G* No individual mathematician ascertains mathematical truth solely by means of an algorithm that he or she knows to be sound.

The judgement-forming that I am claiming is the hallmark of consciousness is itself something that the AI people would have no concept of how to program on a computer.

is not easy to ascertain what an algorithm actually is, simply by examining its output.

Moreover, the slightest 'mutation' of an algorithm (say a slight change in a Turing machine specification, or in its input tape) would tend to render it totally useless, and it is hard to see how actual improvements in algorithms could ever arise in this random way. (Even deliberate improvements are difficult without 'meanings' being available.

I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a bad programmer and a good one is whether he considers his code or his data structures more important. Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.

It is possible to invent a single machine which can be used to compute any computable sequence.

We can't react in any meaningful way in this amount of time. But what about computers? For a computer, a half-second is a huge amount of time. So say you programmed a computer to see an uptick in a stock's price, send this information back to itself a half-second earlier, and put in a buy order." "I'm

What appears to be happening is that something is being layered over a certain amount of MLF: it is MLF plus some human agency. And this human agency seems to have decided to 'stick it' to people towards whom the programmers or their company feel angry. This would explain why the searches for black couples or gay couples give you what you want whereas searches for white couples or straight couples are dominated by their opposites.

Each algorithm is a feedback loop, taking an action, observing the resulting conditions, and taking another action after that. Again, and again, and again. It's an iterative process, in which the algorithms adjust themselves and their activity on every loop, responding less to the news on the ground than to one another. Such systems go out of control because the feedback of their own activity has become louder than the original signal.

En conclusión, la experiencia del yo relativo está ligada a la existencia de una coherencia global del continuo mental que puede ser algoritmizada. Esta coherencia global algorítmica constituye el tema básico de la personalidad. Cuando este tema básico es identificado y observado se provoca un estado de conciencia en el cual desaparece el yo y toda conceptualización.

Algoritmo: Un algoritmo es un patrón, una estructura, una forma matemática o cualquier otro proceso capaz de contener grandes cantidades de información en una forma reducida y concentrada. Un buen ejemplo de un algoritmo es la estructura del ADN capaz de contener toda la información que concentra su estructura. En el caso del ADN, su decodificación da lugar a un cuerpo.

Atractor Extraño: En la física se refiere al algoritmo que describe un sistema complejo y hacia el cual el sistema prospera.

Paladin was sure that wasn't just some indenture algorithm weighting his decision matrix; it was his true desire.

People click on the news they want to hear; Facebook, YouTube, and Google then show them more of whatever it is that they already favor, whether it is a certain brand of soap or a particular form of politics.

I think music will be created algorhythmically, all the things that we do will be boiled down to a little computer program.

And anytime a programmer makes a decision about how to deal with data, how to average it or clean it, you're imparting more of your own bias on it.

Programming is the art of algorithm design and the craft of debugging errant code.

The brain sure as hell doesn't work by somebody programming in rules.

The Google algorithm was a significant development. I've had thank-you emails from people whose lives have been saved by information on a medical website or who have found the love of their life on a dating website.

A pure mathematical series would be one in which each term is derived from the preceding term by a rule.
