Google Brain develops software that creates algorithms comparable to those designed by humans

February 28, 2017

Briefing

  • Algorithm Creating Software – Google Brain developed software capable of creating machine learning systems, such as language processing systems and image recognition software
  • Industry-Wide Development – OpenAI, MIT, University of California-Berkeley and Deep Mind also demonstrated progress in developing deep learning software that can create its own algorithms
  • Comparable to Human Developers – Language processing software designed by system exceeded performance of software developed by humans, while designs for image recognition systems rivals those made by humans
  • Implication – Machines can take over tasks of developing machine learning software from human developers, filling in scarce supply for machine learning experts
