It's not AI. Or at least it's not intelligent. It's really fancy real world data processing. Like feeding an algorithm data on the stock market and it doing it's best to make predictions. Except this time they do it with real world images, human generated information etc. It's good they are able to get computers to produce meaningful calculations from real world data but it's to be expected. How do you get a computer to navigate the real world? Feed it a bunch of images and make it capable of combining all of that data to process what the camera is capturing. Next you make it flexible enough to handle data outside what is feed and hope to minimize errors Thinking of, the idiots who thought it was ok to let computers mess around with the stock market better watch what people do on there with these new pieces of code.

[@alaapdhall8541]

@ricosrealm Look at the Fig she showed. Essentially she replaced the FC Layer having 100k neurons spread throughout layers with her 19 liquid neurons that are divided into 3 parts, 12 inter neurons, 6 command neurons, and 1 final motor neuron. Not 19 diff networks. She calls these networks with liquid neurons as liquid networks. That's what is impressive that instead of 100k neurons she used only 19 neurons. However, as mentioned in video each neuron is a series of diff. equations instead of typical f(a(wx+b)). Each neurons computation is more complex but still better than 100k also she has not replaced CNN and only replaced FC Layer. Ideally a FCNN model like Yolo should still be better as they don't have FC layers as such, but in Attention based transformers this can be useful as they often use FC layers.

You can probably make the transformer “liquid”

[@DS-nv2ni]

You cannot make a Transformer "Liquid", embeddings are not compatible with this approach. Regarding Transformers being the SOTA for AI problems, I'm not sure about that, they work great for NLP problems, and generative content creation, but those only overlap with a fraction of the issues that are important to solve through AI, and not even the most important ones. On top of that, the results are not good enough, Transformers have no causality to start with, and even if Liquid Networks seem to have causality, *they can't really "understand", a device that can represent causality doesn't mean it has understanding of it (like when you program a computer), so Transformers are two steps behind what we need, and Liquid Networks seem to be a step forward in that direction, still they can't solve the problems at which Transformers excel to. The step about "understanding" we are missing, it's more than a step, it's a *long run, and doesn't look close at all, probably decades from now, at the moment AI is mostly hype unfortunately.

Interesting!

[@pytebyte]

Wondering why in the first driving example the camera input stream is quite noisy but when they switch to the liquid network its smooths. Anyway. Interesting work.

[@LabGecko]

First, a few assumptions: 1) I think they probably developed the driving in-house so it isn't likely to have the same richness of data as something like Tesla or Waymo. 2) I doubt they're employing the same level of computational power as Tesla, Google, et al for this project. Haven't read their paper on the topic, so this is completely off-the-cuff, and take it as such. Given that, I think the first is grainy simply because the model's data is noisier than it possibly had to be, possibly not finely-tuned, and so it has some inherent bias issues that make it pay attention to more details than it needs. As for the liquid net, that's simply the nature of derivative math. They (tend to) smooth out lower level formulas, so it makes sense to me that the image recognition result is going to be more gradients than pixel-sharp black and white decisions.

[@pytebyte]

​@@LabGecko Thank you for the answer. Maybe I get it completely wrong but when I read "camera input stream" I assume we are talking about untouched data coming directly from camera of the car. So whatever Model is processing this data in the next step gets the same kind of quality. In their presentation it gives me the feeling they wanted to show more noise in the attention map and that's why they added some extra noise to the camera input feed.

[@LabGecko]

@@pytebyte good chance you're right, good point. I certainly can't be sure, not being there myself. :D

[@rheedan]

If I understand it correctly, the noise in the attention map isn't noise from the camera feed. The noisy bright parts of the image represent the attention weights of the model. In other words, the bright pixels represent areas the model thinks are important for making its predictions. The problem with the CNN is it pays attention to lots of things that humans wouldn't pay attention to, while the liquid network has a tighter focus, and pays attention in a way that make sense to us.

[@GT-tj1qg]

This talk seems a bit off. Any of that testing she showed could be completely unfair and we would have no way to know without looking at her data.

@@LabGecko I guess you are correct, but with my limited understanding you wouldn't be able to easily switch and use transformers as before. Because most transformers are not RNN based. But I could be wrong.

[@clray123]

@@LabGecko The current transformer-based algorithms process discrete sequences of tokens. CNNs were tried in the beginning and they struggled with modelling language in which there are strong time/causal dependencies between tokens at different distances in the sequence that CNNs can't capture well. RNNs did ok in principle, but they did not scale because they could not be trained on an entire sequence of tokens in parallel like transformers can today. I have no idea whether Liquid NNs suffer from the same problem, but the comparisons to LSTM and RNN do not bode well.

[@exmachina767]

According to ChatGPT: “Liquid neural networks (Liquid NNs) and liquid-state machines (LSMs) are closely related concepts, often used interchangeably or as variations of the same idea. Both Liquid NNs and LSMs emphasize the utilization of continuous dynamics and interaction to process information. Liquid-state machines were introduced as a type of recurrent neural network inspired by the behavior of liquid matter. In LSMs, the computational units, often called "liquid neurons," have continuous activation dynamics governed by nonlinear differential equations. These units interact with each other through dense and recurrent connections, forming a liquid-like medium. The dynamics of the liquid neurons allow for the computation of temporal patterns and the processing of time-varying information. The term "liquid neural networks" is often used to refer to a broader class of unconventional neural network architectures that share similarities with liquid-state machines. While LSMs specifically emphasize the liquid metaphor and dynamics, liquid neural networks can encompass a wider range of architectures that incorporate liquid-like properties. In essence, liquid neural networks and liquid-state machines are closely related concepts that aim to harness the power of continuous dynamics and interaction in neural computation. The distinction between them may lie in the specific architectural variations, training algorithms, or implementation details, but they share the common goal of utilizing liquid-like properties for information processing.”

The test following 8:51 is suspicious. The training data shows a red jacket on a tree right next to the start. In the Liquid net test, the red jacket is there, but in the Deep net test, there is no red jacket. To make matters worse, it looks as though the drone starts facing the target in the Liquid net test, whereas it starts 90° off in the Deep net test. Please give this a like if you think others should be aware.

Please make something like skynet

This seems like a bigger breakthrough than whatever else on the AI news in the past couple of months?

[@sc-uk5xg]

Just remember MIT was already working on this last year maybe longer. Don't let them have your biometrics. They will own you and everything you think you own. It will be as easy as hitting delete on a keyboard to totally erase you.

[@jackbauer322]

yeah well basically they mimic focusing like we do and are robust to context change ... at last !

[@NeonTooth]

This is cool and all but I recommend watching the original talk by Ramin Hasani. The salience map she shows for the traditional neuron is being made intentionally bad by introducing noise into the input image, whereas the liquid neuron example is not affected by the noise. Slightly dishonest representation of the results

[@ps3301]

There are no simple math demonstrations of this model

This seems like a natural consequence of improved tech rather than a 'new idea', but all discovery is serendipity, really, anyway. Cool.

[@LabGecko]

No, their method of manipulating the math is groundbreaking. Current models need _billions_ of neurons to do things like what OpenAI has done on ChatGPT, and this model does the same with *_19!?_* Seriously groundbreaking.

[@kayakexcursions5570]

I agree. Nothing to see here.

[@f.jideament]

​@@LabGeckohow do you know their efficiency and precision is the same? Checked and compared the data for every possible problem? What is the definition of better here?

[@StephenRoseDuo]

Isn't this from ~4 years ago?

[@katherandefy]

Hopefully YT does not delete the paper link for this idea since the platform hosting these talks does not advertise the work directly but is neutral or that is my assumptions… See link in my reply to myself here.

Cut down energy consumption! Save the earth.

[@benhammond6717]

Is this what Tesla is using in their latest FSD update?

[@yeetyeet6035]

Good news the project was a success thanks to tax payer dollars and has now been turned over to a private corporation to collect the profits. What a great system we have.

[@yueliu2917]

The title of this video is completely wrong...

[@testales]

It's a little bit of cheating to give one NN a noisy camera input stream and the other a clear stream, isn't it? ;-) Either way, I'm looking forward to some implementations of this.

[@samaBR333]

that would be great running on a Photonic chip

[@GT-tj1qg]

Photonic chips are irrelevant to this topic.

[@ghostvocal]

Any frameworks incorporating this already? tf? PyTorch?

[@yashwardhansable5187]

I don't think so, if you find anything tag me too, I have a problem where I would like to try this

[@LabGecko]

Seconding this request for sources. Motion carries. :D

[@krox477]

It's all math and probability under the hood

[@LabGecko]

That's life
