1. next action

P5, section 3 section 3, where how information is effectively acquired is going to be discussed

2. Spectrums of learning methods

axis 1: how new information is internally modifying the system - the learning mechanism
axis 2: how new information is effectively acquired and fed into the system

3. Differentiability - Current Mainstream

Differentiable learning - learning mechanisms that is based on differentiable representation (or parameterization) of the solution space, and performing gradient decent on it.

caveats:
- assumption of continous solution space (hash function not)
- large solution space - require heuristic to guide the search
…focus on handling only solution spaces that happen to allow gradient computation… – page 3

4. differentiable functions function vs program

programs

could be binary decision tree, DSL, python, lisp…

desireable properties

discrete in structure -> mutation, a local non-gradient based exploration of solutions
compositional -> crossover
hierarchical -> program could combine to new, more complex program -> expressive power

hybridization of program and differentialbe programming

navigating program space - use LLM to generate programs
oracle/fitness function - use LLM to supervise genetic algorithm as fitness/realistic/likelihood computer/calculator

5. Corrections

the 1.1 section should be section 2
typo - P5, just before section 3 - but it is essentially trying to recover something that is already a given in the natural initial form of the input data

Here’s a script to insert multiple org-roam nodes

(defun hermanhel-strings-to-hash (strings)
  "Convert a list of STRINGS to a hash table with the strings as keys."
  (let ((hash (make-hash-table :test 'equal)))
    (dolist (str strings)
      (puthash str t hash))
    hash))

(defun hermanhel-org-roam-insert-multiple-nodes-as-list ()
  (interactive)
(let
    (
     (candidates (hermanhel-strings-to-hash (org-roam--get-titles)))
     (selected-nodes (citar--select-multiple "References: " candidates))
     )
(dolist (title selected-nodes)
      (insert "+ " "[[roam:" title "]]" "\n")
      )
)
)
