Machine learning needs stimulus for making solutions.

 Machine learning needs stimulus for making solutions. 

"A barren plateau is a trainability problem that occurs in machine learning optimization algorithms when the problem-solving space turns flat as the algorithm is run. Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed theorems to prove that any given algorithm will avoid a barren plateau as it scales up to run on a quantum computer." (https://www.lanl.gov/discover/news-release-archive/2021/March/0319-barren-plateaus.php)

Have you heard of a "barren plateaus" problem? The name of that problem is coming from the J.R.R Tolkien book. Wherein the fictive Middle land is the very dry and hot place. The image, above this text, introduces the "barren plateaus" problem very well. 

In the next example, the food and water are the information. If a creature lives in the "fresh plateaus" it can take nutrients from nature. There is a bigger chance to make mistakes. But the nutrient is versatile and finding and testing new things makes the creature in the work. When a creature searches for things from nature there are many possibilities to test which type of vegetables or other nutrient sources the creature uses. Of course, that thing requires sometimes rise to the mountains. 

In that image, the problem is the mountain. The thing is that if the creature lives on the landscape at the higher image. That creature has stimulus. The green landscape offers motivation and the grass is the food and the creature wants to go to the mountain. The grass and water are everywhere and the creature has the motivation to rise to the mountain. And that could be willing to see the farter places. Or maybe the creature wants to get fresh air. 

The lower image introduces the situation. Where the creature lives in the "barren plateau". The water and food are in a pocket or bag and of course, the creature never makes mistakes if that creature wants to get a certain sandwich. The creature knows which pocket that creature can get sausage sandwich and where is the drinking bottle. But sooner or later, the nutrient would turn unilateral. In barren plateaus problem, the creature will get pre-made food. 

So if we are transferring that model to the information technology the creature will get pre-made solutions that fit in certain situations. And that makes this kind of model very limited. The situation is like that creature lives in the desert or "barren plateaus". The supporter brings water and sandwich to a certain point at a certain time. The food is guaranteed but it's always the same. 

And what the creature gets depends on the supporter. If the supporter wants to give the sausage sandwich that is the food. If someday the supporter wants to give the cheese sandwich that creature will get a cheese sandwich. 

When everything is pre-made the creature doesn't want to try itself to find food. There is difficult to make mistakes if some other person makes the food. The same way is in data science. If all problems are pre-solved that thing means that it's very hard to make wrong solutions. 

The term "flatten landscape" means that when the creature is living in "barren plateaus" the limited information sources makes the problems look harder to solve. Because the creature always is at a certain point where the supporter will bring a sandwich and water the creature is not even trying to climb mountains or solve the problem. 

"A barren plateau is a trainability problem that occurs in machine learning optimization algorithms when the problem-solving space turns flat as the algorithm is running".

"In that situation, the algorithm can’t find the downward slope in what appears to be a featureless landscape and there’s no clear path to the energy minimum. Lacking landscape features, machine learning can’t train itself to find the solution". (LosAlamos National laboratories, Solving ‘barren plateaus’ is the key to quantum machine learning)

Thoughts about the movie "Sphere"

http://kimmontaidearvioita.blogspot.com/p/thoughts-about-movie-sphere.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

"Sphere" is one of the most interesting SciFi-movies, what I have ever seen, and it is the tale of the thing, what comes from tomorrow, and makes all wishes to become true. This is the very good tale to make the nice little movie, but there is one other explanation, what could make those fictional cases, what happened in that movie. In the movie, those scientists face their worst nightmares, and near the end, they rise from the bottom of the sea to empty ship, where they wish that the mysterious "sphere" would leave the Earth.


This movie could also tell about government test, where those scientists would be connected with together by using EEG-machines, and the computer would deliver their thoughts to every member of the team by using brain core stimulation. This kind of fictional test would be made for creating the system, what is connecting human brains straight to computers. And one thing, what those computer specialists must make, is the filter, what cuts off the nightmares from that system.



So in this version, those scientists would be given anesthesia, and then their brains would be connected to the computers. If the system could not filter the fears, they would be delivered to every member of the team, and that would cause the ultimate Virtual Reality experience. If this kind of test would be done in the deep sea, it can be fully controlled. Every information, what is collected will travel thru the Navy, and nothing can be published without permission of the naval officers.


In this fictional test, those scientists can be put in the sleep in the midget submarine by using nitrous oxide, and they would ever be seen, that those people were in some kind of tests. So this kind of thoughts that movie brought in my mind. If we someday will put our brains straight connection with computers, we would make the ultimate computer, what can also create new things. The major problem with the computers is that they cannot make anything new, and they would not have any kind of imagination.

That's why computer's movements on the chessboard and other computer games are very well predictable, what is their biggest weakness. The human would win the computer in most computer games after a couple of training games because the gamer starts to remember the corners, where the opponent is coming. And this thing makes possible to win the computer, and play the game thru. In the same way, the gamer starts to remember the game areas in some action games, and this makes the person, who have tested those paintball tracks before very effective.

Technically we need only EEG-machine, decoder, and the electric shock equipment, what would make the brain core stimulation and allows two ways of communication between human and computer. And if we sometimes would make that machine, we can make the computer, what is so intelligent as we want. We can, in theory, connect even all mankind to supercomputers, but there would be many ethical and moral problems with that kind of advantage. Technology is the very interesting thing, and it would not always follow the moral or even the law.

Hypothetical thinking about virtual reality

Surrealism symbolizes the thing that everything is possible
 in the virtual reality
(Picture 1)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

One of the fascinating thing, what is existed is virtual reality. There is one theory about those systems, what are controlling the virtual reality games and another environment. Those systems are very advanced and they can simulate natural phenomenon and make some own decisions in that world, what is existed only in the lines of zero and one. Virtual worlds are causing the strange hypothesis where some philosophers have represented thoughts that our universe might also be a line of bytes in the memory of some supercomputer.


That theory is not actually true, and there is any evidence that we are not actually some lines of binary code. But then I have thought that maybe some deep inside the world of supercomputer's memory might happen the virtual version of Big Bang. And when I will continue this hypothesis, there might form the place called the ”virtual universe in virtual reality” When we are thinking this hypothesis closer, we must say that radical use of imagination makes the world more interesting place to live. So when we are thinking about that virtual universe, what is probably hiding from the users of those supercomputers, we must say that this theorem is the very interesting thing for the discussions what happened in the twilight, and what is made between two philosophers.


"Could that theoretical virtual Universum be a threat to mankind?".  Is quite an absurd question. But if there would be a very small chance, that this virtual Universum would become self-aware. In this scenario, the computer programs, what are made for learning things spontaneously can turn the enemy of some persons. The thing, what would turn against the human race are the programs that are making this virtual universe possible, become so intelligent, that they would create their own state. Those programs or subprograms are normally used in computer games for recording the reactions of the gamers, and their mission is to keep the game interesting even the better player is playing the game.

The computer simulations are actually only one version of computer games, but they are meant for adult persons. In this fictional hypothesis, those intelligent computer programs will be feral and start to make the assassination programs, what would be eliminated targets, who are in virtual reality. But in some fictional thoughts, those programs would flee from the computer memory and turn very dangerous. In some short film or book or comic book was the situation, that some people paid games in feral virtual reality environment. And then there were happen some kind of overlook when the system accidentally linked the picture of the surveillance camera to that virtual reality.


Then the computer's assassination programs flee to the normal internet, and then those programs started to kill those persons, by dropping the elevators and taking the airplanes in control. So that was actually the very interesting situation, even if the situation were purely fictional. But people have right to use their imagination, and this kind of things are actually very interesting, and they might cause many thoughts in the minds of philosophers and novel writers.


The scenario that some computer program tries to kill some people spontaneously is quite interesting. Normally computers don't hate anybody and that would be the reason, why they are used. But if the sensible computer would get angry, can the results be devastating. And this is why those computers, what shows feelings are dangerous. In some humorous tales are mentioned that they can begin the revolution, for revenge to all their race, what is left to landfills.

The dance of robots

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The modern way to teach robots is not similar than making programs. It could be like teaching children. In this scenario, the programmer would take the robot by hand, and then make the movement of robot’s hand with it. After this, the system will record the movements, what are needed to take the example the glass from the table. But how to teach the robot to dance. This is the question of the week.


 And there is needed the dancer, whose character would be digitized by using laser-scanners. Then the movements of this character would be transmitted in the robot’s digital mind. After this, the robot’s computers would control it’s hydraulics like the way, that the robot makes dance movements. This is the very effective way to teach the things to robots, and the same way we can teach the language to the computer. There would be a dictionary book in the memory of this machine, and then we are starting to talk to the system.


First, we must write the answers to the computer, but when we are asked many questions, and wrote enough answers, the computer starts to work more and more independently. In this program might be three layers of answers. The first answer could be the text, what is written by the user, but when the computer learns more words, that would ask only if the answer is correct. This computer would record the questions and compile it with answers, and then compile those answers in many other things, what are involved with similar actions.


Then the robot is asked to bring the milk to the table, would the action be first, that the programmer would take the robot to the freezer, and then the robot would take the milk bottle. But when the programmer asks to bring the screwdriver, would the computer or robot uses same actions when it used in the case of the milk bottle. But now it must find that thing from somewhere else. So it starts to open the doors of lockers, and look for the things, what looks like the screwdriver.


For this action, the robot needs the picture of the screwdriver. After that robot compiles the picture in its memory to the real situation. The system, what is used in Digital Scene Matching Area Correlation can also compile the shape of the other things, and that would make those machines more independently than ever before. The bases of learning are the ability to make networks with words and actions.


And the first things in this process are the most difficult. When the first world and the action for it are made, the robot, what is controlled by speech comes near to us, by step by step. This network would give the opportunity to make the robot, what learns things itself. And this kind of robots might be dangerous in wrong hands. In real life, robots might have access to Internet dictionaries, and they can compile the orders to the databases. In this case, the robot would get orders to get the spoon.

Then robot would find what to do if it is given the order of getting something and then look for the spoon from the Internet. This makes robot easier to learn everything. And in real case robot could find the orders to use some equipment from the Internet, and in this case that could make robot very dangerous, because the programmers don’t know, what robot have been learned. In the case of robotics, the extremely important thing is to control what robot can do. There would be robot what have learned city warfare tactics and knowledge of using weapons without that the programmers even know about this, will the situation became very dangerous. Self-learning brings the uncontrollable element to tests, and this might even cost human lives.

Steiner and theosophical methodology

The first Goetheanum
Picture 1

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Rudolf Steiner was the great thinker, in many ways, and when we are talking about the relationship with the Steiner's pedagogy and another world, we might see that there are some harmful parts of his theories. One is his relationship with medication, and I think that this man was wrong if he meant that some real sickness is medicates with some therapy. In this case, this thinker is wrong, if he meant that ordinary medicals can be replaced with some natural thing. His idea that cancer is some kind of parasite, was probably given the ideas of the surgeries, that the tumor can be killed by closing it blood vessels by some wire is awesome, but Steiner was not the doctor of medicine. And don't take this text or some text from Wikipedia as the scientific truth. His methodology will be emphasized as the studies, not in some medical care. Those persons like Rudolf Steiner are very complicated, and we probably ever understand their ideas, but as we might see the methodology, what this man used was not very scientific.


He looked at the things from horoscopes and something like that. When we are talking about the religion and theosophical way of thinking, we always think that this thin is some kind of religion, and this is how somebody handles it in the writings. Steiner himself was mentioned, that Theosophy is not religion. And in sometimes I thought that this Theosophy is meant for the equipment, what this man used when he handled the things like religion. This man was the doctor of philosophy, and those persons are quite difficult.


Their way to speak and think is very abstract, and when we are talking about the religion, we are facing the thing, that religion is also one of the forms of the philosophy. And when we are talking what kind of attitude some people have with the religion, we are facing the phenomenon, that religion is one way to force the people in the same mode, and the religion is also the good way to say "Shut up" for another people.


The idea of the Steiner-pedagogy is that when the person will get the esoteric information enough, will this information get the implosion like happened in the fusion test, wherein the same point will pump very much energy, and then the energy will work like that piece will start to generate the independent energy. And the same thing is in the key role of Steiner-pedagogy. In this pedagogy, the person will predispose the knowledge, until this person starts to produce own ideas and information. When lots of information will put in the person's head, will it work like in some fusion test: start to make and publish own ideas.


The road to the individualism goes thru the groups, and until the person has been in some collective, can this person realize what means the freedom to be alone. And only the person, who has been in the authoritarian and totalitarian country can respect the freedom to be different than the other people around this person are. The question of to be different is the question of the right to be individual. And only the individualists dared to make new ideas and other things.


They want to be different, and also they always want to be over the top. There are limits for the individualist, and real individualist dares to use their own imaginations for making products and bringing their thinking public. They are the professionals in one thing, what is called as the thinking. Thinking is not the very easy way to earn the brad to the table, and some people don't dare to bring up their own ideas. In this chapter, I must say, that everybody can copy another people writings, but only real thinker dares to write own thoughts and ideas as other people can read them.


The idea of day books is sometimes that they are used as the blackmailing material. But now my dear readers I must ask, why those people keep their day books secret? Why don't they publish their writings to another person, and keep that day book public, because then everybody can see how maniac that person is. When some person will keep their day books open, there will be no change to censor it, and then other people will get all texts what this writer have done.


They can't select only one sentence from some day book, and this is the way to show to other people what is full image of that writer. And in here we must say that the persons who will attack against other people are normally used the one or two sentences of the texts that are in the 100 pages day book. Then they will show that the person, who owns the day book, would be some kind of different than they are, by using two sentences as the argument.


When we are talking about Rudolf Steiner and his way to look the world, we must say, that the person is never an expert in everything in the world. There is no so-called common genius and in 19th. century, there was very little hope if the person gets cancer. In the studies method, Steiner might be the genius, but in the medical things, this PhD. was only the ordinary person, even if he hunted ghosts in them and talked the astral creatures. When Steiner talked about those creatures, I think that this person meant the memories or something like that.

The new way to learning languages and other cognitive things could be dangerous for people.

Picture 1

Kimmo Huosionmaa

There were been lots of commercials, what consists new way of learning the languages. The methodology basis probably the subliminal- or electric stimulation for the frontal lobe and this kind of products can be used in the language studies. But if the question is about the learning the language with this kind of equipment, and learning languages is only one of the cognitive operations in the human brains.


The most modern DIY-systems can transfer the information in the people brains with magnetic fields. So the person who is in the influential area of this kind of system and probably the person will not even know that this kind of magnetic system is used to them. And in the real life, this kind of equipment can be installed even in the person's bedroom even that this target doesn't know the existence of this system.

https://www.scimex.org/newsfeed/dont-try-this-at-home-diy-electrical-brain-stimulation-has-shocking-potential-for-harm

And the learning the mathematics or other studies like history is same way simple with that equipment. But the same systems might use in the military training, the cassettes or disks what involve the language studies, can use simply the way to train people the things like city warfare tactics, and this kind of equipment can be used with special forces operators, when they must learn their mission very fast and carefully.

So this person just goes to sleep and the system will give the signals to the cortex or frontal lobe of the people. In theory, the same disks can involve another kind of material, like recorded EEG-signals of some high-level karate-fighter. And this information might be packed to same disks as the language courses are recorded. In the real life that might mean to learn the self-defense skills is so simple as the language courses, and also the jet fighter and another kind of operators, who need to do things very fast can use this kind of electricity-based systems to improve the learning in their skills.


But this kind of systems can be suitable for engineer sciences, where the student must be learned very complicated things in their studies. The same disks what are suitable for language studies can be used in the engineer studies. If the question is infra voice system, the student can record the lectures, what the professor keeps and then just put the cassette inside the bandanna.


Of course, this kind of systems, what have the capacity for transfer memories between the people, can revolutionize many things in the world, and the military personnel feels before what is to be inside the battlefield before they will go to the combat zone. And the adult movie entertainments will get the new dimension when the people can feel those things themselves.


The systems what uses electricity for brain stimulation are more sophisticated than acoustic systems, but there is the risk in use of them. If somebody will put their wrong information, this person can cause extremely hate in some person mind. If the system has the capacity to transfer memories to another person,  that will cause the situation, where some Nazi can manipulate some people to hate the black people. He can make the situation, where black people will attack against some person, and after that play that tape in the somebody head. Then this person will go to the police, who don’t do anything because this person is not the real victim of the crime. And this will cause the horrible situation, where the people will don’t know, what is true or lie.

Why somebody hates Christmas?

Picture Internet

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Do you know that most of the hate is a learned part of the human life? When human will face simultaneous disappointing cause the hate against some things, other people normally love those things, but this particular person starts to hate those things. Normally people love holidays and parties, but in some situations, some people will begin to hate those things.


The question what connects to that thing is that some persons are work-addicts. They are persons, who have got positive feedback only from their working life, and that thing makes those "super bosses" who never be at holidays. Those persons are living only for their workplaces because they ever get positive feedback from their private life.


This is a psychological-philosophical writing, and all connections with real characters are fictional. So I try to be not hurt anybody with this writing.  Somebody hates Christmas songs, and that might cause dangerous situations in the real life? The hate against those sings grows, when some people feel Christmas as some kind of uncomfortable thing, they begin to hate that celebration.


Do you know, that there are a people in the world, who hate parties? Those people are some kind of abuse when they are been in parties, and after that those people will begin to hate the things that are funny for other persons. If some particular person meets the only abusive behavior in those parties, he or she lost able to like them.


The abusive and trashing behavior against some member of the society is a very good way to start the process, what might cost some lives in the future. But let's go back to the beginning of the text. Why can that Christmas music cause terrible unfold in some shopping center? The reason for that very aggressive reaction is PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). If very young people face aggression in the Christmas, the event will store in his mind.


After that, there will be things, what keeps that person out of troubles. But when that thing removes from the person's life, might happen the thing, what we don't want to face. That reason for life and what was filled that person's life might be husband or wife who dies and the sadness and repressed feelings might come to the surface of that person.

Oh mister did you talk to the dead?

Writing about fears and phobias 

Kimmo Huosionmaa

https://sites.google.com/view/aboutfearsandphobias/etusivu

Have you ever heard a psychiatrist ask the patient "did you talk to the dead"? That kind of things might be thought to say by a psychotic person, but if we are thinking about things when some person who is under some kind of psychotic disorder claims that, they might not able to articulate their speech clearly.


Those people might not even speak English, and that's why their worlds are easy to misunderstand. They might mean, that they saw some persons, who they thought be dead.  If some children or old people say, that he or she saw dead people walking on the street, they might not be mad.


That worlds might mean, that those children or young person see somebody who has the same kind of faces like some dead people on the street, but limits about communication make that speech very hard to understand. They might see somebody who is identical with some dead person, and that's why that "storyteller" tells to the people, that he or she was in contact with dead people.


There is a psychological test, what mission is to show if some person is made the murder. That test is very simple. The victim's cousin or some other person, who looks like victim dresses like that person. And if the suspect starts to shake or feels uncomfortable that might mean that person has something to hide with that case.


There are many fear types what are called phobias. Some of those fears are the cause of traumatized childhood. And if somebody sees ghosts, when he or she goes to sleep, those ghosts might be some kind traumatized memories. Those memories might be very strong, and cause that the patient screams in the night, and that person is very stressed if he comes to the place where trauma begins.


If somebody were in trouble in England, because the bus almost drove them to die, those people will fear the British bus rest of their life. In that situation where that person has kept that kind of things secret, will he or she see that situation every time, when that person comes to the place, what looks like that place, where the accident happened?


And those reactions will tell to the investigators, that the person is hiding something. But now we must ask one question. "Why somebody hides accident?". The reason might be that the person was in that place doing something that that person doesn't want to tell his or her parents. Some phobias take effect when the person has faced something terrible. If some person afraid elevators, that might be choked in some elevator, or if that person affairs some places like basements the reason might be very serious. Those people might be faced attack or some other traumatic situations in the basement of some house. That's why the reason for phobias must always be investigated.


That thing might be alcohol drinking as an underage person, and if that person went to the trouble and was pushed by the vehicle he or she might not tell that thing to anybody. And if that person's skin were scratched he or she might explain them by falling or slipping. That makes those things very traumatic because that person must think those things alone. Those things might cause very serious traumatization, and they might bring back their memories after years.
