27:25 - 31:47 (04:22)
This podcast episode explores the importance of discovering good predicates in developing intelligent machines and questions whether machines can do this task effectively.
Clips
The speaker discusses the possibility of achieving record-breaking accuracy using fewer examples by selecting decisions from a set of functions that match a given predicate, rather than relying on a wide set of functions.

Summary
The speaker discusses the possibility of achieving record-breaking accuracy using fewer examples by selecting decisions from a set of functions that match a given predicate, rather than relying on a wide set of functions. However, it is noted that this approach may not work for all applications, and is currently being applied to digit recognition.

Summary
The essence of intelligence is the discovery of good predicates, but it is hard for machines to achieve due to their lack of common sense and creativity. It remains unclear whether machines can ever match the human ability to create effective predicates.
