Intrinsically Motivated Systems

Abstract:

Motivation is a very complex psychological behavior arising out of ones current physiological and psychological state of affairs. Motivation in humans is always associated or studied with incentive theories. As per human psychology, our intrinsic motivation factors are centered around intrinsic rewards which are considered critical for the development of cognitive intelligence. In that case, can an artificially learning machine be motivated to develop cognitive intelligence? What are the factors that would lead a machine learning system to motivate itself intrinsically? This paper discusses some of these question based on the latest research work carried out in the fields of development psychology, active learning, neuroscience, adaptive curiosity et. al., and see how this can be applied to our context of developing intrinsically motivated systems.

Awaiting session recording. Will post it soon.

Evolving App Paradigm

Over last two decades we have seen enterprise application landscape changing very rapidly with rapidly evolving technology stacks and changing industry dynamics. It is time for another paradigm shift in terms of how we conceptualize, design, develop, test and maintain our applications to meet volatile business requirements. Some of the prime features of this evolving paradigm Flexible business user centric infrastructure (than IT centric) IT as a service model with emphasis on user self service. Flexible development and deployment infrastructure which is readily available over cloud (no setup time, no high budgets and initial spending) Develop application using modern development languages which help improve the developer Usage of more dynamic meta programming languages Reusable assets, code generators, ... Build once and run anywhere across platforms and devices End-to-End application lifecycle integration through ALM and DevOps Improve communication and collaborat...

Do we know the enterprise IT challenges...???

Last night during the dinner chat with one of my old school pal, we stumbled on the topic of current issues that enterprises are stuck with. It went on almost for 30 mins. But what made it less interesting to me is that whole discussion was around cost cutting, our sourcing, rationalization etc., It is really boring, we are still taking about the tip of iceberg. But the question is due we really know what the real challenges are. I am not talking about a laundry list with 30/40/50 items. I am looking why we really have those items? (whatever the count is). I could not get this out of mind and started listing, order, consolidating, prioritizing those items to make sure I am completely confident that as a consultant I am doubly sure about them. Of course, it is debatable. But this is what I think are core problem and rest of list is the symptoms. 1. Dynamic market conditions are forcing business to adopt rapidly while IT is able to respond to this 2. Day by day IT is becoming exp...

AI gets smarter and more practical

We all know AI is coming to the forefront of technology in the form of machine learning (ML) and deep neural networks, where AI can understand the surroundings and apply that information to the current context, whether it is about data pattern analysis or driving a vehicle. Coupled with increasing capabilities of AI hardware, in 2018 we can expect: AI research will reach new heights in the fields of neural networks and generative adversarial networks. Cooperative learning among networks will lead to hybrid intelligence. Continuous evolution of AI will empower enterprise-scale business processes with intelligence and agility. AI will redefine the IT landscape with smart machines and borg systems. Read the complete article on DXC technology trends for 2018
