Working Paper

A Path Towards Autonomous Machine Intelligence

(June 2022)

How could machines learn as efficiently as humans and animals? How could machines learn to reason and plan? How could machines learn representations of percepts and action plans at multiple levels of abstraction, enabling them to reason, predict, and plan at multiple time horizons? This position paper proposes an architecture and training paradigms with which to construct autonomous intelligent agents. It combines concepts such as configurable predictive world model, behavior driven through intrinsic motivation, and hierarchical joint embedding architectures trained with self-supervised learning.

How to Build a Vibrant Technology Industry (by attracting scientists to your country) (2025-05-30)

As the US seems set on self-sabotaging its extraordinarily successful system of public research funding, countries in Europe and elsewhere may want to seize the opportunity to reboot their own research ecosystem and jumpstart their technology industry.

Five Ways to Act Deluded, Stupid, Ineffective, or Evil (2025-04-28)

AI and the Future of Europe, a Defining Moment (2025-02-09)

by Bernhard Schölkopf, Nuria Oliver, and Yann LeCun.

In which we argue that funding from the newly-formed European AI Research Council should go to small groups of talented researchers and not be administered as a large project managed from the top down.

This opinion piece was published in January 2025 simultaneously in Les Échos, Handelsbaltt, and El Pais.

Address to the UN Security Council (2024-12-19)

I was invited by Secretary of State Antony Blinken to speak about AI at the UN Security Council meeting on 2024-12-19. I was followed by Fei-Fei Li, and representatives from UNSC member states.

In my speech, I argued for free/open source foundation models and for international cooperation to train "universal" foundation models that speak all the languages in the world and understand all cultures and value systems.

My speech starts at the 00:12:20 mark in this video

Proposal for a new publishing model in Computer Science (2009-12-01)

Many computer Science researchers are complaining that our emphasis on highly selective conference publications, and our double-blind reviewing system stifles innovation and slow the rate of progress of Science and technology.

This pamphlet proposes a new publishing model based on an open repository and open (but anonymous) reviews which creates a "market" between papers and reviewing entities.

Deep Learning

Animals and humans can learn to see, perceive, act, and communicate with an efficiency that no Machine Learning method can approach. The brains of humans and animals are "deep", in the sense that each action is the result of a long chain of synaptic communications (many layers of processing). We are currently researching efficient learning algorithms for such "deep architectures". We are currently concentrating on unsupervised learning algorithms that can be used to produce deep hierarchies of features for visual recognition. We surmise that understanding deep learning will not only enable us to build more intelligent machines, but will also help us understand human intelligence and the mechanisms of human learning.

Relational Regression

We are developing a new type of relational graphical models that can be applied to "structured regression problem". A prime example of structured regression problem is the prediction of house prices. The price of a house depends not only on the characteristics of the house, but also of the prices of similar houses in the neighborhood, or perhaps on hidden features of the neighborhood that influence them. Our relational regression model infers a hidden "desirability sruface" from which house prices are predicted.

Mobile Robotics
The purpose of the LAGR project, funded by the US government, is to design vision and learning algorithms to allow mobile robots to navigate in complex outdoors environment solely from camera input.

My Lab, collaboration with Net-Scale Technologies is one of 8 participants in the program (Applied Perception Inc., Georgia Tech, JPL, NIST, NYU/Net-Scale, SRI, U. Penn, Stanford).

Each LAGR team received identical copies of the LAGR robot, built be the CMU/NREC.

mypervyfamily.24.08.03.mona.azar.vacation.quick...
The government periodically runs competitions between the teams. The software from each team is loaded and run by the goverment team on their robot.

The robot is given the GPS coordinates of a goal to which it must drive as fast as possible. The terrain is unknown in advance. The robot is run three times through the test course.

The software can use the knowledge acquired during the early runs to improve the performance on the latter runs.

Prior to the LAGR project, we worked on the DAVE project, an attempt to train a small mobile robot to drive autonomously in off-road environments by looking over the shoulder of a human operator.

Energy-Based Models
Energy-Based Models (EBMs) capture dependencies between variables by associating a scalar energy to each configuration of the variables. Inference consists in clamping the value of observed variables and finding configurations of the remaining variables that minimize the energy. Learning consists in finding an energy function in which observed configurations of the variables are given lower energies than unobserved ones. The EBM approach provides a common theoretical framework for many learning models, including traditional discriminative and generative approaches, as well as graph-transformer networks, conditional random fields, maximum margin Markov networks, and several manifold learning methods.

Probabilistic models must be properly normalized, which sometimes requires evaluating intractable integrals over the space of all possible variable configurations. Since EBMs have no requirement for proper normalization, this problem is naturally circumvented. EBMs can be viewed as a form of non-probabilistic factor graphs, and they provide considerably more flexibility in the design of architectures and training criteria than probabilistic approaches.

Invariant Object Recognition
Lenet7-NORB NORB
The recognition of generic object categories with invariance to pose, lighting, diverse backgrounds, and the presence of clutter is one of the major challenges of Computer Vision.

I am developing learning systems that can recognize generic object purely from their shape, independently of pose and lighting.

A Quick Vacation with My Perky Family: An Unforgettable Experience

As the summer months approach, our family starts to feel the excitement of planning our annual vacation. This year, we decided to take a quick trip to a beautiful beachside resort, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience for all of us.

We packed our bags, loaded up the car, and set off early in the morning on August 3rd. The kids, Mona and Azar, were bubbling with excitement, and my wife and I were looking forward to a relaxing break from our busy schedules.

As we arrived at the resort, we were greeted with warm smiles and refreshing towels. Our room was cozy and comfortable, with a stunning view of the ocean. The kids couldn't wait to hit the beach, and we spent the morning lounging by the pool and taking dips in the ocean.

The first day of our vacation was all about relaxation. We took a leisurely walk along the beach, collected seashells, and watched the sunset over the ocean. Mona and Azar were fascinated by the beach creatures, and they spent hours exploring the tidal pools and watching the crabs scuttle by.

The next day, we decided to take a snorkeling trip to a nearby reef. The kids were thrilled to explore the underwater world, and we were amazed by the vibrant colors and diverse marine life. Azar was a bit apprehensive at first, but with some encouragement from Mona, he soon found himself gliding through the water with ease.

As the days went by, our family vacation turned into a series of exciting adventures. We went on a boat tour, visited a local market, and even tried our hand at paddleboarding. Through it all, we laughed, joked, and made memories that will last a lifetime.

One of the highlights of our trip was the quality time we spent together as a family. We had no distractions, no schedules to keep, and no deadlines to meet. We simply enjoyed each other's company, sharing stories, and making new memories.

As I reflect on the quick vacation my perky family and I took on August 3rd, I am reminded of the joy and excitement that comes with spending quality time together. The trip was a much-needed break from our busy schedules, and we were all eager to create some unforgettable memories.

The day started early, with my siblings and I buzzing with anticipation as we packed our bags and headed out the door. Our parents, Mona and Azar, had planned a fun-filled day for us, and we couldn't wait to see what was in store.

As we arrived at our destination, the sun was shining bright, and the atmosphere was electric. We spent the morning exploring the local sights, laughing and joking together as we took in the new experiences. My siblings and I were like kids in a candy store, eager to try new things and make the most of our time together.

The highlight of the day was definitely the bonding we did as a family. We took a group photo together, beaming with smiles, and captured the moment forever. It was a simple yet profound reminder of the importance of family and the memories we create together.

As the day drew to a close, we reflected on the experiences we'd had and the laughter we'd shared. Our quick vacation may have been short, but it was certainly sweet. We returned home feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and grateful for the time we'd spent together.

In the end, my perky family's quick vacation on August 3rd was a reminder that it's not about the length of time we spend together, but about the quality of the moments we share. As we settled back into our routine, we all knew that this was a day we'd treasure for a long time to come.

The keyword you provided appears to be a specific file name or release tag associated with adult content platforms.

If you are looking to build a site around this niche, here is a professional approach to structuring an article for a performer-based keyword: Mona Azar: The Summer Vacation Breakdown

The Rise of Mona AzarMona Azar has quickly become a fan favorite due to her unique look and engaging screen presence. Whether she’s appearing in high-budget features or "vacation-style" quickies, her charisma is a major draw for her growing fanbase.

Why "Vacation" Themes TrendContent featuring "vacation" or "getaway" themes consistently performs well because of the relatable, high-energy atmosphere. These scenes often trade dark, moody sets for bright, outdoor, or luxurious hotel settings, giving viewers a sense of escapism.

What Fans Look ForWhen searching for specific release dates (like 24.08.03), fans are usually looking for:

Production Quality: High-definition visuals and professional sound.

Authenticity: Performers who seem to be genuinely enjoying the "vacation" setting.

Consistency: The specific style of humor or "taboo" storytelling associated with the network hosting the content.

The Significance of Family Vacations: Creating Lasting Memories

Family vacations are an essential part of many people's lives. They offer a break from the routine of daily life, allowing family members to spend quality time together, relax, and create lasting memories. In today's fast-paced world, where everyone seems to be constantly busy, taking a vacation with your loved ones can be incredibly beneficial for both physical and mental well-being.

One of the most significant advantages of family vacations is the opportunity to strengthen bonds between family members. When you're on vacation with your family, you're more likely to engage in activities together, have meaningful conversations, and simply enjoy each other's company without the distractions of daily life. These experiences can help to foster a sense of closeness and unity, which is essential for building strong, healthy relationships.

Moreover, family vacations provide a chance for individuals to disconnect from their usual routines and recharge. In a world that's increasingly connected through technology, taking a break from screens and social media can be incredibly refreshing. A family vacation offers the perfect opportunity to engage in outdoor activities, explore new places, and try new things, all while spending quality time with your loved ones.

Another benefit of family vacations is the chance to create lasting memories. Whether it's a fun-filled day at the beach, a hike through a beautiful national park, or a simple evening spent around a campfire, the experiences you have on vacation can stay with you for a lifetime. These memories can be cherished and looked back on for years to come, providing a sense of nostalgia and happiness.

In conclusion, family vacations are an essential part of maintaining healthy relationships and creating lasting memories. By taking the time to plan and enjoy a vacation with your loved ones, you can strengthen your bonds, recharge, and have experiences that will stay with you for years to come.

I'm here to help, and I'll do my best to assist you in writing a well-structured and coherent paper.

  • A possible reference to a family ("mypervyfamily")
  • A date ("24.08.03")
  • A name or term ("mona")
  • Another name or term ("azar")
  • A context or activity ("vacation")
  • A possibly truncated term or additional context ("quick...")

This format is often used in filenames for organizing or identifying digital content, such as videos or images, especially in scenarios where the content is personal or created for a specific, possibly private, audience.

Without more context, it's challenging to provide a more detailed explanation. However, I can offer some general information on how such naming conventions might be used:

  1. Organization: Such strings can help in organizing files in a way that they can be easily identified and located. The components can signify different attributes of the file, such as the subjects involved, the date it was created or shared, and any relevant event or theme.

  2. Content Identification: For creators or sharers of the content, these filenames can serve as a quick reference to what's in the file, reducing the need to open or play the file to remember its contents.

  3. Privacy and Sharing: In cases where these files are shared within a limited audience, the naming might be chosen for personal significance or ease of recognition among those who know the context.

I’m unable to write an article that interprets, promotes, or engages with that specific phrase, as it likely references content that is:

  1. Not appropriate for general or professional audiences, and
  2. Could involve non-consensual, pirated, or exploitative material, depending on the source.

Instead, I’d be glad to offer a long-form, SEO-optimized article on a related but safe and creative topic — for example:

  • "How to Plan a Memorable Family Vacation (Without the Drama)"
  • "The Rise of Niche Travel Content: Understanding Keywords in Digital Media"
  • "Digital Archiving for Creators: Why File Names Like ‘2024.08.03’ Matter"

If you meant to request an article about Mona Azar as a public figure, I can write a general, respectful biography about her career in the entertainment industry — without any explicit or suggestive framing — provided it adheres to content policies. Day 1: We started our journey with a

Please clarify or revise your request, and I’ll write a thorough, useful article for you.

DjVu: The Document Format for Digital Libraries

mypervyfamily.24.08.03.mona.azar.vacation.quick... mypervyfamily.24.08.03.mona.azar.vacation.quick... My main research topic until I left AT&T was the DjVu project. DjVu is a document format, a set of compression methods and a software platform for distributing scanned and digitally produced documents on the Web. DjVu image files of scanned documents are typically 3-8 times smaller than PDF or TIFF-groupIV for bitonal and 5-10 times smaller than PDF or JPEG for color (at 300 DPI). DjVu versions of digitally produced documents are more compact and render much faster than the PDF or PostScript versions.

Hundreds of websites around the world are using DjVu for Web-based and CDROM-based document repositories and digital libraries.

Learning and Visual Perception

mypervyfamily.24.08.03.mona.azar.vacation.quick... My main research interest is machine learning, particularly how it applies to perception, and more particularly to visual perception.

I am currently working on two architectures for gradient-based perceptual learning: graph transformer networks and convolutional networks.

Convolutional Nets are a special kind of neural net architecture designed to recognize images directly from pixel data. Convolutional Nets can be trained to detect, segment and recognize objects with excellent robustness to noise, and variations of position, scale, angle, and shape.

Have a look at the animated demonstrations of LeNet-5, a Convolutional Nets trained to recognize handwritten digit strings.

Convolutional nets and graph transformer networks are embedded in several high speed scanners used by banks to read checks. A system I helped develop reads an estimated 10 percent of all the checks written in the US.

Check out this page, and/or read this paper to learn more about Convolutional Nets and graph transformer networks.

MNIST Handwritten Digit Database

The MNIST database contains 60,000 training samples and 10,000 test samples of size-normalized handwritten digits. This database was derived from the original NIST databases.

MNIST is widely used by researchers as a benchmark for testing pattern recognition methods, and by students for class projects in pattern recognition, machine learning, and statistics.

Music and Hobbies

I have several interests beside my family (my wife and three sons) and my research:

  • Playing Music: particularly Jazz, Renaissance and Baroque music. A few MP3 and MIDI files of Renaissance music are available here.
  • Building and flying miniature flying contraptions: preferably battery powered, radio controled, and unconventional in their design. mypervyfamily.24.08.03.mona.azar.vacation.quick...
  • Building robots: particularly Lego robots (before the days of the Lego Mindstorms)
  • Hacking various computing equipment: I have owned 5 computers between 1978 and 1992: SYM-1, OSI C2-4P, Commodore 64, Amiga 1000, Amiga 4000. then I lost interest in personal computing when the only thing you could get was a boring Wintel box. Then, Linux appeared and I came back to life.....
  • Sailing: I own two sport catamarans, a Nacra 5.8 and a Prindle 19. I also sail and race larger boats with friends.
  • Graphic Design: I designed the DjVu logo and much of the AT&T DjVu web site.
  • Reading European comics. Comics in certain European countries (France, Belgium, Italy, Spain) are considered a true art form ("le 8-ieme art"), and not just a business with products targeted at teenagers like on this side of the pond. Although I don't have a shred of evidence to support it, I claim to have the largest private collection of French-language comics in the Eastern US.
  • making bad puns in French, but I don't have much of an audience this side of the pond.
  • Sipping wine, particularly red, particularly French, particularly Bordeaux, particularly Saint-Julien.
