We were very fortunate to have Melanie Mitchell, author of Artificial Intelligence: A Guide for Thinking Humans (and famous programmer of Copycat), join us for our regular BIML meeting.

We discussed Melanie’s new paper Abstraction and Analogy-Making in Artificial Intelligence. We talked about analogy, perception, symbols, emergent computation, machine learning, and DNNs.

A recorded version of our conversation is available, as is a video version.

We hope you enjoy what you see here. This is what BIML meetings are like.
