English Version Jestem naukowcem pracującym nad wprowadzeniem dynamiki do uczenia maszynowego, które obecnie jest zdominowane przez statystykę. Dynamika jest konieczna aby modele mogły wytworzyć dobre “rozumienie” fizycznej rzeczywistości. Mój ostatni projekt mający na celu stworzenie nowej architektury naturalnie korzystającej ze sprzężeń zwrotnych, uczenia bez nadzoru, uczenia online jest opisany tutaj (kod na github). Dopóki dynamika nie będzie naturalną częścią modeli uczenia maszynowego, modele te będą jedynie “statystycznymi maszynami” które “statystycznie działają”, co nie jest wystarczające w zastosowaniach w świecie rzeczywistym takich jak robotyka. Moją dalekosiężną ambicją jest rozwiązać Paradoks Moraveca. Więcej na ten temat można znaleźć w moim blogu o uczeniu maszynowym i innych rzeczach (eng).

Jasne gwiazdy świecą krótko - wspomnienie przyjaciela który zmarł zbyt szybko
Tomasz Schreiber, mój promotor, współpracownik, współautor, przyjaciel. Pracować razem zaczęliśmy w 2003 roku, już wtedy był wschodzącą gwiazdą polskiej matematyki. Praca z nim była zawsze przyjemnością. Tomek był człowiekiem który dawał z siebie wszystko, nigdy niczego nie żądał. Zawsze uśmiechnięty, zawsze pełen zapału, pełen wiary w ludzi. Był niesamowicie bystry, szybki, miał fantastyczne poczucie humoru. Matematycznymi symbolami żąglował tak sprawnie, że często trzeba było kilku dni myślenia żeby zrozumieć co on zrobił w kilka sekund. Gdy kilka lat temu Tomek żegnał swojego promotora, profesora Alexandra Nagajewa który zginął w tragicznym wypadku, nie przyszło mi do głowy, że niedługo przyjdzie mi pożegnać Jego. Od kilku lat walczył z ciężką chorobą. Nigdy jednak choroba nie stała się dla niego wymówką. Wręcz przeciwnie, chyba motywowała go do jeszcze cięższej pracy. Zmarł 1 grudnia 2010. Miał 35 lat. Zostawił żonę, kochającą rodzinę, wspaniałych doktorantów i studentów, przyjaciół, dziesiątki niedokończonych myśli matematycznych. Zawsze będę go pamiętał uśmiechniętego.
