A new intelligence science lab founded by @fchollet & @mikeknoop.
From ARC Prize 2024 Paper Award recipient @SimonOuellette6 - execution-guided multi-step neural program synthesis (EG-NPS) outperforms test-time fine-tuning on ARC-AGI. Novel DSL + structured synthesis drive better out-of-distribution reasoning. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2507.15877
Here's Ndea Co-founder @fchollet's YC AI Startup School talk, "From AI to AGI - The Missing Rungs of the Ladder".
François Chollet (@fchollet) on the ARC Prize and how we get to AGI. At AI Startup School in San Francisco. 00:00 - The Falling Cost of Compute 00:57 - Deep-Learning’s Scaling Era & Benchmarks 01:59 - The ARC Benchmark 03:02 - The 2024 Shift to Test-Time Adaptation 05:01 - What…
New robotics paper that combines symbolic search + neural learning to build compositional models that generalize to new tasks. A neural grammar for a planning programming language.
"Generalization means being able to solve problems that the system hasn't been prepared for." Our latest work in #RSS2025 can automatically invent neural networks as state abstractions, which help robots generalize. Check it out here: jaraxxus-me.github.io/IVNTR/
Program synthesis is gaining momentum. We're seeing an uptick in related papers published on arXiv.
Neuro-symbolic concepts (object, action, relation) represented by a hybrid of neural nets & symbolic programs. Composable, grounded, and typed, agents recombine them to solve tasks like robotic manipulation. J. Tenenbaum @maojiayuan @jiajunwu_cs @MIT arxiv.org/abs/2505.06191
