baseline controller might represent a standard approach to robot navigation, using observed data to infer the robot's position and move toward the goal. In contrast, the robust controller introduces particle filtering, a method that uses a set of "particles" to represent the distribution of possible states, to improve the agent's beliefs about its location, particularly when uncertainties or changes in the environment occur. concept of punctuated equilibrium from evolutionary biology—and by extension, evolutionary psychology—can offer intriguing insights into the processes of adaptation and innovation, such as those found in startup pivots or the development of robust controllers for localization algorithms. Punctuated equilibrium posits that evolutionary development is characterized by long periods of stability (equilibrium) interrupted by short, sudden changes (punctuations). In the context of startups, this can parallel the periods of steady growth or consistent business models that are periodically disrupted by significant shifts or 'pivots' in response to market changes, technological advancements, or new information. Applying this to your friend George's situation with his localization algorithm, the 'Kidnap the robot' animation might metaphorically represent a startup's unexpected shift in the market or a sudden realization that the current business model isn't viable—a 'kidnapping' of the startup's trajectory. George's difficulty with developing an inference controller could be akin to a startup struggling to find a new direction after such a disruption. The process of developing a robust controller could benefit from evolutionary principles in the following ways:
By drawing parallels between these evolutionary mechanisms and the challenges George faces, one can suggest that a more dynamic, adaptive, and resilient approach to algorithm development may emerge. This perspective might not only aid in refining his inference controller but also serve as an inspiration for startups navigating their pivots. |

to answer charlie's question in halfway persuasion on PC(BE).txt, i prepared three summaries of vikash's talk: ted talk on AI That Understands the World, Using Probabilistic Programmingsummary: Probabilistic programs provide a new symbolic language for expressing uncertain knowledge about possible worlds and the processes to infer them. It's a new medium for knowledge representation. Examples demonstrate probabilistic programming outperforming machine learning systems on tasks such as perceiving 3D structure, reducing errors in perception (compared to Tesla's neural networks), cleaning millions of database records from US Medicare, and forecasting econometric time series. These probabilistic programs seem to understand the world more like humans do, in terms of symbolic representations. answer to your questions on its novelty + success case: Probabilistic Programming Tutorial Part 1, 2Part I

🙋♀️ queryQ1. among three query language Q2. what is the family tree of the three language? if it is BQL to IQL to GSQL what "need" for feature prompted birth of the latter ones? how would this be relevant to startup pivoting decisions? 👨🏽🏫 predicted answerbelow is short comparison of three languages from supply and demand's side (historic order) Supply Side Table

target audience: BE evaluators
for PC evaluators, i summarized bayes.entrep in sister thread #234
this thread's purpose is two:
to put scalable auto-modeling using Bayesian synthesis and domain specific language on my Bayes in Business supporters' radar 📡
to share my willingness to bet to prob.comp with Vikash and seek path to officially join prob.comp project
format: Bob Horn's information mural
