CAEE : Standing efficiently on the shoulders of giants

Inspired by an IRC discussion:

21:16 <Leviathan7> well no one goes to church for good reasons we all know they tha 21:17 <UtopiahGHML> going there for a lack of a better belief to hold to. 21:17 <UtopiahGHML> which makes perfect sense 21:19 <Leviathan7> that's how our biological system work we only do what benefits us, Love is the only thing that breaks this law 21:21 <UtopiahGHML> (on a sidenode, that just gave me an idea for an EE motto : standing *efficiently* on the shoulder of giants, or sth like that) 21:21 <Leviathan7> Or looking upon the giants.. idk 21:22 <UtopiahGHML> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_on_the_shoulders_of_giants 21:23 <Leviathan7> beautiful painting. yes we are the dwarfs 21:29 <UtopiahGHML> I guess Im ok being even smaller if I can get a spot higher to see further away ;)

Why

Leading principles

Survival leads to problem solving

Living organisms are pressured toward the same goal, maintaining homeostasis. They all developed solutions to do so. Consequently, life with and without intelligence is a continuous problem solving mechanism. Evolution and its result, the phylogeny tree, is the biological exploration to this constraint in a changing environment.

phylogeny is the biological answer over time to the question "How to survive in the current environment?"

Introductory course

Personal work

Generals foundations

way too broad... Introducing the work in a much broader context, those renown work provide fundamentals that will be used to go further. They must be clarified first in order to discuss the topic with a common understanding of the problem at hand.

Should be organized in key disciplines around a map of concepts.

Labs with the state of the art

imprecise, lack of direct examples CREA

Those are too related to general learning instead of real epistemological advancement (about machine supported learning but NOT directly linked with creativity).

Experimental protocol

This protocol serve as a way to provide a way to falsify the theory and prove that so far, it is coherent.
