“Bringing Up Baby” to Tolerate Germs

Bringing Up a Quantum Baby

Any two infinite-dimensional (separable) Hilbert spaces are unitarily isomorphic. The sets of all their self-adjoint operators are also therefore unitarily equivalent. Thus if all self-adjoint operators can be observed, and if there is no further major axiom in quantum physics than those formulated for example in Dirac’s ‘Quantum Mechanics’, then a quantum physicist would not be able to tell a ...

Wrongful conception: who pays for bringing up baby?

Bringing up baby: Developmental simulation of the adult cranial morphology of rungwecebus kipunji.

Rungwecebus kipunji is a recently discovered, critically endangered primate endemic to southern Tanzania. Although phenetically similar to mangabeys, molecular analyses suggest it is more closely related to Papio or possibly descended from an ancient population of baboon-mangabey hybrids. At present, only a single kipunji specimen, an M1-stage juvenile male, is available for study; thus, the cr...

Bringing Up IAC

Intelligent Adaptive Curiosity (IAC) is an attempt at motivation-based robot learning. IAC has very limited ability to predict and categorize time-dependent elements of its environment, however. In this paper, we attempt to integrate IAC’s strong points into a more capable learning algorithm. We implement this by adding a simple recurrent network as a memory module for the previously memory-les...
