  • Learning: Brain vs xNN

    The neural and cognitive architecture for learning from a small sample is a nice article I would like to recommend. It highlights how human learners avoid generalization issues found in machine learning, proposes a general model explaining how the brain may simplify complex problems. Synergy between cognitive functions and reinforcement learning allows simplification.Recurrent loops between…

  • Less = More, “Lets Kill”

    One of the great readings recently was the article from Adams, G.S., Converse, B.A., Hales, A.H. et al. in Nature: People systematically overlook subtractive changes. The summary video, clearly marks the point: Experiments show that people default to adding as a solution in various situations. It appears to be an uncommon insight. When solving problems, people prefer adding…

  • Wisdom in few quotes

    Snoopy (& Charlie Brown) are inspiring. They are on this page, because I just came across an inspiring book from Björn Natthiko Lindeblad, on how to live a happy and meaningful life, even if you start of in a unpleasing direction.

  • We do not only need multi-stakeholder, there is also an urgent need to reflect about future generations: “Being a Good Ancestor.”

    I just finished a nice reading on how we might motivate ourselves to think about a sustainable future. “The Good Ancestor” from Roman Krznaric is great in helping us to understand the urgent need to stop living in the tiranny of the now, and working toward long term thinking and intergenerational justice. Roman has strong…

  • Decision-making Uncertainties.

    One Earth has a great article on decision-making for complex systems under uncertainties. “Identifying uncertainties in scenarios and models of socio-ecological systems in support of decision-making“There are many sources of uncertainty in scenarios and models of socio-ecological systems, and understanding these uncertainties is critical in supporting informed decision-making about the management of natural resources.  Three…

  • The magic of walking ….

    I already suggested once: “Maybe – in this upcoming world of AI – we should not just walk on our own, but also ask our AI system to take a break and reflect on the good nature of its activities.” This suggestion is maybe more challenging for the AI and relevant for humans, according to…
