Extending the Forward Forward Algorithm

The Forward Forward algorithm, proposed by Geoffrey Hinton in November 2022, is a novel method for training neural networks as an alternative to backpropagation. In this project, we replicate Hinton's experiments on the MNIST dataset, and subsequently extend the scope of the method with two significant contributions. First, we establish a baseline performance for the Forward Forward network on the IMDb movie reviews dataset. As far as we know, our results on this sentiment analysis task marks the first instance of the algorithm's extension beyond computer vision. Second, we introduce a novel pyramidal optimization strategy for the loss threshold - a hyperparameter specific to the Forward Forward method. Our pyramidal approach shows that a good thresholding strategy causes a difference of upto 8% in test error. 1 Lastly, we perform visualizations of the trained parameters and derived several significant insights, such as a notably larger (10-20x) mean and variance in the weights acquired by the Forward Forward network.

'Godfather of AI' shares 6 ways the tech might harm humans
https://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/godfather-of-ai-shares-6-ways-the-tech-might-harm-humans-1.6461714

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Hinton

There are six key dangers AI may pose to humans, according to Hinton:

1. bias and discrimination
2. battle robots
3. joblessness
4. echo chambers
5. existential risk
6. fake news

Hinton said he has no idea how to make AI more likely to be a force for good than for bad.

'Godfather of AI' shares 6 ways the tech might harm humans

Advancements around artificial intelligence technology are pushing the world into 'a period of huge uncertainty,' according to AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton. And as the technology becomes smarter, the 'godfather of AI' is highlighting six harms it may pose to humans.
