DeeperML

François Chollet, the creator of the Keras AI framework and the ARC benchmark, has launched a new AI research lab named Ndea, with the aim of developing artificial general intelligence (AGI). Ndea is taking an approach that combines deep learning with program synthesis to create AI systems that learn more like humans. Program synthesis allows computers to generate programs to solve problems, which could potentially enable AI to adapt and innovate beyond current task-specific applications. Ndea aims to achieve a breakthrough in creating AI that can learn efficiently and improve over time without bottlenecks, this differs from other approaches such as NVIDIA's hardware acceleration focus.

Ndea is assembling a globally distributed team of remote researchers to accelerate scientific progress through AI. The company's name is derived from combining the Greek words for intuitive understanding and logical thinking, reflecting their goal of merging these two approaches to create more general AI. Ndea sees program synthesis as a critical component of achieving AGI, not simply an addition to deep learning which is how most other labs currently view it. The team hopes that their approach will lead to machines that can not only solve existing problems but pose new ones and explore uncharted territories.
