New 'learnable novelty' metric unifies intelligence metrics

Researchers have introduced a new concept called "learnable novelty" as a unified measure for intelligence across various fields like statistics, computation, and agent behavior. This concept is quantified using a differentiable reservoir computer, which can estimate the portion of surprise that a learner can convert into knowledge. When applied as a measure, it successfully classifies complexity, ranking the Turing-complete rule~110 highest among elementary cellular automata. As an objective, it guides a neural cellular automaton towards complex dynamics and unsupervised image representation, and enhances exploration for reinforcement learning agents. AI

IMPACT Introduces a unified quantitative framework for intelligence, potentially advancing unsupervised learning and agent exploration.

    Intelligence from Learnable Novelty

    arXiv:2607.18433v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Intelligence appears under different names in different fields: as data compression in statistics and machine learning, as universal computation in dynamical systems, and as adaptive behavior in agents. Each field carries its own …
