Thoughts on Real-Time Pattern Detection and AI Principles

Detecting Patterns: The Basics

  1. Simple Pattern Detection:

    • Consider the sequence: ABCABC.
    • The distance between A and B is one character.
    • The distance between B and A is two characters.
    • Key Point: AB is a stronger pattern because it occurs with less distance between the values than BA.
  2. Pursuer and Evader Points:

    • Each character has a pursuer point and an evader point.
    • Pursuer points move towards the evader points of characters that precede them.
    • Evader points move away from the pursuer points of characters that precede them.
  • In the sequence ABCABC:

    • B's pursuer point moves strongly towards A's evader point because they are one character apart.
    • A's evader point moves more weakly away from B's pursuer point because they are two characters apart.
  • Key Insight: B's pursuer point is chasing A's evader point more strongly than A's evader point is escaping, leading to their co-location. This co-location indicates a strong pattern based on frequency and proximity.


Principles for Advanced AI

  1. Real-Time Data Processing:

    • Machine learning should operate on data in real time, enabling immediate responses to new information.
  2. Parallelization:

    • Every character, byte, or primitive value fed through the AI should, in principle, be able to be processed fully in parallel to every other piece of information.
  3. Running Calculations:

    • Values critical to decision-making should be computed continuously, on the fly, to support real-time processing.
  4. Threshold-Based Decisions:

    • Use thresholds to make decisions quickly and efficiently. If a choice hinges on whether something exceeds or doesn't exceed a threshold, the decision can be made rapidly, which is crucial for real-time operation.

Conclusion:

  • By applying these principles alongside the basics of pattern detection, we can develop AI that operates effectively and powerfully in real-time environments.
