Problems with Relavitivism:

1. missing disagreement problem
2. arbitrariness: anything could be right and wrong
3. social infallibility; if people all agree on something, it becomes right

Mind-to-World Desire of Fit

When you have a desire, you change the world so that you fulfill it. “truth-apt”

“when you are hungry, you want food”

Mind-to-World Desire of Fit

Your belief changes as a function of the world. “truth-apt”

“reasoning/cognition and truth”

Simple Subjectivism

“murder is wrong” <=> “I disapprove of mrder.”

background info

Recall asymtotic analysis. We remember that:

constant time < logarithmic time < linear time < polynomial time < exponential time

The question? What happens if dynamic programming is too slow/not good enough for the problem? What if dynamic programming is not needed; instead, why don’t we just settle for a pretty good solution?

Take, for instance, Nueva Courses. The optimal solution is “most students get their highest possible preferences.” However, this is impractical and pretty much impossible. Instead, what if we endeavor to figure a schedule that generally maximize happiness?

replication is the exact copying of cell information

In this experiment, a model was devised, trained, and evaluated to automate psychotherapist/client text conversations through the use of state-of-the-art, Seq2Seq Transformer-based Natural Language Generation (NLG) systems. Through training the model upon a mix of the Cornell Movie Dialogue Corpus for language understanding and an open-source, anonymized, and public licensed psychotherapeutic dataset, the model achieved statistically significant performance in published, standardized qualitative benchmarks against human-written validation data - meeting or exceeding human-written responses’ performance in 59.7% and 67.1% of the test set for two independent test methods respectively. Although the model cannot replace the work of psychotherapists entirely, its ability to synthesize human-appearing utterances for the majority of the test set serves as a promising step towards communizing and easing stigma at the psychotherapeutic point-of-care.
