Good read: AI – Summarizing Books with Human Feedback

| Constantin Bosse

 

“Summarizing Books with Human Feedback” was published on OpenAI.com. It is a quick read, very clear and well written. They share some examples from on how they had AI summarizing books. In the article they give the example of the classic “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, by Lewis Carroll which they used to test it.

They briefly explain their recursive approach and how they include human feedback during the process evaluating the AI’s summarys.

They also include a link to their official research paper written by Jeff Wu, Long Ouyang, Daniel M. Ziegler, Nisan Stiennon, Ryan Lowe, Jan Leike, Paul Christiano. 

In my opinion it is an impressive task that has been achieved so far. Though there is still lots to improve from briefly looking at the summaries, to have AI summarizing books is still impressive.

It is a remarkable work that I think can have great application especially for technical texts in my opinion, though for fiction texts I think it will not be as applicable. I wish I had had this tool when I was studying to double check my summaries.

I believe that the summaries lack some human touch but this is logic. However this is very subjective though from my side.

The other day I read this article: Being a Successful Entrepreneur Isn’t Only About Having the Best Ideas

I think it is a good read for anyone with an idea he thinks is viable.

 

“…without the capacity to execute an idea — to take an idea and turn it into a living, breathing, viable organization — you’re doomed to fail.”

Blogging: Should I?

Blogging: Should I?

I guess this is something some of us wonder. Is it worth the effort? The time?

Fair questions but something you should look into if you are serious about creating your own personal brand.

I have a tendency to be a perfeccionist but I think that some things you need to get your hands dirty with to get better and learn by doing, and it seems to me that blogginf falls into this category.

This article may encourage some to start doing it instead of over doing it and spending too much time on preparation and start creating content and sharing your thoughts, interests, etc.

Give it a read and maybe you will find it interesting too.

Tips to be creative

Tips to be creative
| Constantin Bosse

Are you creative or can you be creative?

I have met people who say that they are not creative. They accept things as given and do not even try to be. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy so to say. They will never come up with a bright idea because they do not consider even having one.

Ironically there are others, who when confronted with a problem, do not step back but step forward. They do not accept the status quo and give it a shot. They think of finding a solution and the fear of ridicule and failure is secondary. Some of the greatest inventors had hundreds of ideas before they came up with one bright one. This group creates the other stagnates.

What’s the difference between the two? — Their mindset.

Creativity is just another skill

I have always been considered creative by others. In school it was because I was good at drawing and later at work, it was because I came up with solutions. Continue reading →

Looking for solutions or ideas? A step by step approach

The other day I was talking to a friend who is currently trying to solve a major technical problem of a product. From what he mentioned this problem had already been challenging others for some years. He did not know where to start due to the complexity of the task. I am no engineer but at my work I have had to solve complex problems too, so I mentioned my approach to him.

Until today I had never thought about the process I followed since it always appeared to me as an exercise of common sense and keeping an open mind.

An Open Mind

Whatever you try to solve, start out with an open mind. I mean by this to start out with the following assumptions:

  • Everything can be improved but first it must be understood
  • You are not the first one who has had this problem
  • There may already be a different approach that can work
  • You do not know everything
  • Sometimes a good solution is better than a perfect solution
  • There is no such thing as a dumb question

By keeping an open mind and not taking things for granted you are capable of three things: Continue reading →
