  1. [Перевод] HUME — новый метод AB тестирования ИИ моделей в задачах анализа текста

    Исследователи Сбера вместе с зарубежными исследователями создали специальный тест HUME, который оценивает, насколько хорошо люди и современные ИИ-модели справляются с анализом текста: классификацией, кластеризацией, поиском похожих текстов, ранжированием. Кратко: Ученые создали тест, чтобы сравнить людей и самые современные ИИ-модели (те, которые переводят слова в числа — эмбеддинги) в заданиях на понимание смысла. И выяснили, что люди пока что умнее в "тонких" вещах, особенно с неродным для ИИ языком. Проблема: Мы часто хвалим ИИ за высокие баллы в бенчмарках (тестах). Но как понять, хорош ли результат 85%? Может, для человека эта задача проще, и он справился бы на 95%? Или, наоборот, задача настолько сложна и запутана, что человек показал бы только 60%? Без "человеческого ориентира" цифры теряют смысл. Авторы создали новый способ оценки ( HUME — Human Evaluation Framework for Text Embeddings), который позволяет напрямую сравнить людей с ИИ-моделями в задачах анализа текста. Результаты и выводы:

  2. Roubei a imagem do "#Philosophy Matters", do #facebook.

    Estudantes de #filosofia lêem #Hume e ficam transformados, seu passeio se torna um pesadelo: estudantes de #psicologia tornam a leitura um entretenimento.

    Ou ainda: psicólogos em formação não lêem de verdade.

    Fiquei curioso é sobre quantos estudantes de filosofia, no Brasil, lêem Hume - e se algum em psicologia o lê.

  3. @theguardian_world_news Anus Taylor is one of the laziest politicians in all the land. Four years as energy minister and he never managed to have a policy. Went in to an election and never thought having a policy might be a useful strategy. Lazy, entitled, arrogant; used government as a cash cow for his family businesses.

  4. Deduction is incapable of predicting that the sun will rise tomorrow based on past behavior/observations.

    They call this "the problem of induction".

  5. For those unfamiliar with Shaftesbury (me included) I just posted a short blog post on #Shaftesbury with comparison to #Locke and #Hume (with the help of #ChatGPT)

  6. The only reason we have the term "abductive reasoning" is that people failed to actually comprehend Hume.

    "...this operation of the mind, by which we infer like effects from like causes, and vice versa..."

    Hume was writing about cognition as a whole.

  7. CW: Humeposting

    Hume dropping real-life advice to exemplify his point wrt reason and experience.

    "NOTHING is more usual than for writers, even, on moral, political, or physical subjects, to distinguish between reason and experience, and to suppose, that these species of argumentation are entirely different from each other. The former are taken for the mere result of our intellectual faculties, which, by considering à priori the nature of things, and examining the effects, that must follow from their operation, establish particular principles of science and philosophy. The latter are supposed to be derived entirely from sense and observation, by which we learn what has actually resulted from the operation of particular objects, and are thence able to infer, what will, for the future, result from them. Thus, for instance, the limitations and restraints of civil government, and a legal constitution, may be defended, either from reason, which reflecting on the great frailty and corruption of human nature, teaches, that no man can safely be trusted with unlimited authority; or from experience and history, which inform us of the enormous abuses, that ambition, in every age and country, has been found to make of so imprudent a confidence."

  8. CW: re: Unpopular philosophical opionion, subject related to a race theorist.

    Philosophically, Validity is not a word that means worthwhile or dependable or anything like that.
    Valid means that an argument progresses using the limited set of deductive inferences in a way that matches up.

    The transcendental argument does not follow the limited set of deductive inferences.

    Hence it is very obviously invalid.

    There's not such thing as a prerequisite in deduction.
    There is no such thing as "possibility" in deduction.
    Deduction outlines a world, and the world is populated by premise - very literally, the world contains that which is posited as premises, and only that.

    Possibility doesn't make any sense there, because a thing either is assumed (it is a premise) or it is not assumed (it is not a premise) or it is assumed-not (it is specifically assumed as absent in a premise).

    The meaningless of possibility can be demonstrated:
    If p is possible, this means that p or not-p, but p or not-p is always the case anyway.
    It literally does not have a separate meaning.

    Deduction works with what follows.
    If p then q.

    If you want to change the rules, and Kant did want to change the rules, then you are no longer in the realm of validity.

    The reason why possibility is not a deductive property is that possibility is formed from our good ability to predict the world in general, juxtaposed with our poor ability to predict the world in detail.

    These predictions are inherently inductive. They are incompatible with deduction (to be precise, induction is so much stronger than deduction that no inductive inventory is safe to use in deduction).

  14. Back when I produced core concept videos for my students on David Hume's Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, I skipped over section 1. I've started shooting videos filling in that gap. Here's the first of those!

  16. In the conclusion of part 3 of the Prolegomena, Immanuel Kant discusses deism and theism, Hume's critique of both, analogy, and deism as only involving "symbolic anthropomorphism"

  17. Kant makes a number of distinctions bearing upon conceptions of God in his Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics. Deism vs theism & different sorts of anthropomorphism and analogy. Here's a new video on that!
