Prediction Games in Infinitely Rich Worlds (Extended Abstract)
Omid Madani · 2006
In order to familiarize oneself with a rich new world, one needs to learn a great deal. This massive learning includes learning to recognize myriad categories and learning to make use of them for learning other categories. The process of playing prediction games may make this massive learning possible. In this paper, we describe prediction games and present a discussion of properties of algorithms and systems that would play them well. The great potential of prediction games is in pointing to ways of achieving powerful large-scale learning without the need for human supervision.
