[@InfinityMind1]

I approached the topic years ago when I was doing a perceptron for playing tic tac toe. I had problems with keeping neurons and it's weight in a small enough size not to add too much of delay. Today it's solved by saving it as a signal strength in a barrel. It's such a genius thing that was impossible back in my day. Mine perceptron was five times bigger and had shit accuracy as I had to limit hidden layers (every weight and bias had to be saved in a separate RS NOR Latch bases 8-bit register plus every neutron had a 8 bit multiplicator and summator). Eventually I circled back to a rule based solution as the tic tac toe is simple enough to implement it in a smaller factor size, but it was deterministic and not really "very AI". I'm so proud and happy to see that quality redstone engineering is still alive and well and now you can do those things in a very nice and compact way.

In 16-bit logic, you can replace division by 15 by a multiplication by -30583 (32 bit result), three shifts, and two addition operations. You can easily figure this out by compiling a function that returns its 16-bit argument divided by 15 on clang with -O2, and what's efficient to do on silicon fabric (integers over floats, and multiplication over division) is almost always efficient in minecraft too. As for softmax, in 2021, researchers at nvidia created a hardware-efficient softmax replacement called "softermax" that is realistically implementable in minecraft. I'm not a minecraft expert, but I love seeing hardware implementations of functions, and minecraft is no exception.

[@mmdts]

@@law1337 Minecraft logic speed relies on distance traveled by redstone for most cases. There are isntant rail-based propagation systems, but they require far more real estate, and all gates ultimately suffer redstone tick delay. In short, builds with less gates are more efficient because they take less real-estate and less real-estate translates to faster and more compact circuits. Similarly, in sillicon fabric, builds with less gates are more efficient because they require less capacitance delay, allowing shorter clock cycles for the synchronous logic, and because they consume less power. So regardless of the underlying reasons, gate count per logic achieved is an efficiency metric that's equivalent in both minecraft and hardware - and multiplying instead of dividing uses less gates for the same results, yielding higher efficiency in both. I just assumed the audience reading the comment are aware of the underlying reasons, which was a mistake on my part. I hope the explanation is correct and sufficient.

[@mmdts]

14:19 Exponentiation is pretty simple, just convert the exponent to a binary number, then for each bit that is turned on you add the corresponding exponent, and to get the list of corresponding exponents you just start with the number you're raising to the power of the exponent and multiply by two each step. Here's an example, if you have 5^7 then it will convert 7 to binary which is 111 then it will multiply 5, 25, and 625 to get 78,125 which is the correct answer.

Create a mod that lets you put a redstone build inside a single block. This block would have an input and an output, with the guts of it being shrunk down in a smaller dimension inside the block. Clicking on it takes you inside the block where you can build (or paste in) the redstone circuitry and connect it all to the output. Then, of course, you could have these circuits nested inside of each other so you could further compartmentalize the functions. This would compact these massive builds into a few blocks. Full functional encapsulation. Imagine the possibilities.

[@novantha1]

The first thing that comes to mind is a recent cutting edge implementation of QAT (quantization aware training) called Bitnet 1.58; it operates on different principles than a standard MLP. It replaces the Matrix multiplication with binary operators (addition, subtraction, or no-ops), so it's fast in inference deployment and cheap in that you can sort of fit a single "unit" of weights into 1.58 bits (though it's easier to just do it as a 2bit implementation with one state unused). It'd probably be way faster in a Minecraft context as one of the biggest disadvantages in IRL deployment, that you need custom hardware to take full advantage of the speed improvements, isn't really a disadvantage in a bespoke system. Anyway, the biggest difference is in the training process; it's trained at Int8 or FP8 (if memory serves, it's been a little while), and is then downscaled to the 1.58bit representation, but the information lost in that conversion to ternary values is preserved in a weight reconstruction matrix, basically. The end goal is that the network is made aware that it will be converted to a ternary representation. Hence, "quantization *aware* training", so you might be able to preserve more of the accuracy of the floating point model than you thought. Strictly speaking, the full bitnet implementation is a Transformer network, but it should still apply to raw MLPs given that they started with the FFN (essentially an MLP placed inside a more complex network with self attention and a language head).

The reason the network redstone is smaller than the display is because the heavy lifting of the network has already been distilled within the pre trained weights. The operation of inferencing a small network is simple arithmetic, compared to training, which is complicated, and excels at developing relationships with high precision weights and biases. I also imagine running the training on redstone would take an infinity, and it would be virtually impossible to represent the training data within all loadable chunks.

yes it is uploading the model into redstone dw

[@KiwiRedstone]

At least...

[@WereDictionary]

The amount of engineering that people get to live through Minecraft is truly insane. There is sammyuri who built a completely programmable redstone engine, there is Matt who reverse engineered a learning AI and there are countless other hobbyist engineers who warped Minecraft to their imagination and built stupidly impressive things and the insane part is that all of this is a hobby.

[@grayjphys]

I love how machine learning people use things from physics. like the softmax function is the way you find probabilities of states in statistical mechanics. The sum of exponentials is the partition function, which normalizes all of the probabilites. :)

[@InsertName404]

How did u get around the network being bad at actual digit recognition, due to the MNIST data set all being perfectly centered?

[@ferguspick6845]

A simple MLP can learn a pretty good representation already for this dataset, but one easy approach would be to transform the input images (e.g. skew, rotate) and add these as additional training samples, this makes the learned representations even more robust :)

He also made a Time Machine in Minecraft which is how you’re here I assume

It's so weird and amazing to see technology advance in a game.

[@Darockam]

Congratulations, that's so cool! I used to do a lot of redstone back then, so I love seeing people pushing the limits further and further with it :)

[@julianvillaquira4127]

Remark: multiplying weights by 100 works (that well) because your activation function is ReLU is a positively homogeneous function.

[@epicfilms4life507]

This is really good bro for visualising how computers work deep down in their tiny chips. Like ur essentially blowing up a cpu to its full size and literally WALKING thru the details and wiring. U can be a goated CS major bro, u have so much f**ING talent bro. How old are you dude? Did you do UNI, or are you currently doing uni? Like bro, go do a CS major or smth, you could make a shit ton of money from just research and development. U got like bottomless talent levels bro

[@sabersakin3685]

As a minecraft player and having experience in ML for over one year, i''m literally blown away!!! This is truly amazing.

[@RealTheScienceCat]

i got it so i could constantly draw numbers, and if it got them wrong, i 'punish' it by setting a part on fire, pouring a bit of water on it, exploding it, switching wires and more ways of damaging it. and when it breaks fully i will just reset it.

[@mediocreweirdo]

imagine if it randomly displayed "HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE" and then recited the entire speech

[@mathieuagostini7690]

Oh my god. This is the best neural network I ever heard. I listen to a bunch of videos, and I always had some trouble about "what are the operations done" Thanks for breaking it down.. Multiply, adds up result, activation function, and here we go again. It makes sense now: we need to multiply, so when activation function returns 0, it completly toggle off the neurone.. Damn I love you

[@AeroSW]

So the work completed in this video is worth a degree. Many people are required to get doctorates for even a chance to think about how to build APUs for Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). This is essentially what this creator built in Minecraft using Redstone because, Redstone, mimics circuitry on a basic level. So he essentially built the APU's Core with a test input and output workbench.

[@ManiakPL22]

"thinking about 10 neurons at once is overwhelming, so I am going to focus on just one" is definitely a sentence of all times

[@ahmad777-noob3]

The way you explained all of those deep learning terms in simple words is just marvelous!

[@marcosmachado6844]

It would be insane if you actually trained it in Minecraft. I was already scratching my head on how you would even transform the images into data. I don't even want to think how would you implement back propagation. Amazing video!

[@mustizgaming]

This man is SEVERELY underrated. He made this whole thing in 11 days.

[@Luxof_]

"But it was REALLY slow. 784 additions is no joke. So i split the work into 4 separate adders.." Bro if only I could just build hardware like that irl 😭Life could be a dream

[@justk579]

Nah bro this minecraft project is getting more crazier

[@ain92ru]

The thing you made to change the inference of the network from floating point to integer is called "quantization" in machine learning, look it up! I suspect just 4-6 bit integer values may be enough for this task if you increase the number of neurons a bit

[@FireNLightnin]

Imagine a hermitcraft-style drawing minigame with a neural network trained on hand-drawn cats, dogs, cars, houses, or other preschool-type drawings where people compete to earn the most points based on the network's certainty with their drawing. * A random draw topic is chosen. * Players compete by drawing. * The network rates their drawings and tallys their score.

[@CromextheCoder]

A few months ago, i watched a video from avagaado where he designed some 0-tick piston door and someone in the comments said:,,A normal redstoner watching 0-tick redstoner is like a non-redstoner watching normal redstoners, both dont understand a word." Take that phrase and change "0-Tick redstoner" to "a redstoner who makes neural networks with logical redstone and python scripts" and you have a quick expression of how it feels to watch this video lol

[@ReubenFischer]

I've made a binary decoder and encoder that can display 0 - 9. It took SIX HOURS. This guy is crazy

[@anonymanonymus4706]

After not being able to build a Python simulation for one project of mine, the last thing I expected was to find a detailed explanation of how the particular part that wasn't working for me was working in a random Minecraft video I watched for fun in my free time. Thank you for the (probably unintended) help with my project, and the video was interesting in its own right as well.

[@stackootb9822]

This taught me about implementing neural networks better than a lot of learning resources I've watched. Good work

[@MaskalHayzenbrg]

That's the idea. By increasing the number of entries and the processes running them (eg 10). The goal of this complex task is to respond to texts and make sense of images at the same time

[@EhhhhWassup]

A) This is insane, what a massive undertaking. Following through so successfully is probably the most impressive thing ive seen done in minecraft. B) Do you watch osrs youtube? Getting some soundtrack flashbacks to Settled and Framed finales.
