Seeking Critique on Research Approach to Open Set Recognition (Novelty Detection) [R]
Hey guys, I'm an independent researcher working on a project that tries to address a very specific failure mode in LLMs and embedding based classifiers: the inability of the system to reliably distinguish between "familiar data" that it's seen variations of and "novel noise." The project's core idea is moving from a single probability vector (P(class|input)) to a dual-output system that measures μ(x), a continuous familiarity score bounded [0,1], derived from set coverage axioms. The detailed paper is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/strangehospital/Frontier-Dynamics-Project/blob/c84f5b2a1cc5c20d528d58c69f2d9dac350aa466/Frontier%20Dynamics/Set%20Theoretic%20Learning%20Environment%20Paper.md ML Model: https://just-inquire.replit.app --> autonomous learning system Why I'm posting here: As an independent researcher, I lack the daily pushback/feedback of a lab group or advisor. Obviously, this creates a situation where bias can easily creep into the research. The paper details three major revisions based on real-world failure modes I encountered while running this on a continuous learning agent. Specifically, the paper grapples with: Saturation Bug: phenomenon where μ(x) converged to 1.0 for everything as training samples grew in high-dimensional space. The Curse of Dimensionality: Why naive density estimation in 384-dimensional space breaks the notion of "closeness." I attempted to ground this research in a PAC-Bayes convergence proof and tested it on a ML model ("MarvinBot") with a ~17k topic knowledge base. If anyone has time to skim the paper, I would be grateful for a brutal critique. Go ahead and roast the paper. Please leave out personal attacks, just focus on the substance of the material. I'm particularly interested in hearing thoughts on: --> Saturation bug --> If there's a simpler solution than using the evidence-scaled multi-domain Dirichlet accessibility function used in v3 --> Edge cases or failures I've been blind too. I'm not looking for stars or citations. Just a reality check about the research. Note: The repo also has a v3 technical report on the saturation bug and the proof if you want to skip the main paper. submitted by /u/CodenameZeroStroke [link] [comments]
View originalGary Marcus on the Claude Code leak [D]
Gary Marcus just tweeted: ... the way Anthropic built that kernel is straight out of classical symbolic AI. For example, it is in large part a big IF-THEN conditional, with 486 branch points and 12 levels of nesting — all inside a deterministic, symbolic loop that the real godfathers of AI, people like John McCarthy and Marvin Minsky and Herb Simon, would have instantly recognized I've read my share of classical AI books, but I cannot say that 486 branch points and 12 levels of nesting make me think of any classical AI algorithm. (They make me think of a giant ball of mud that grew more "special cases" over time). Anyways, what is he talking about? submitted by /u/we_are_mammals [link] [comments]
