In October, during Amazon’s Machine Learning Conference (AMLC 2022), Linda B. Smith, distinguished professor at Indiana University Bloomington, gave a keynote titled, "Episodes of Experience and Generative Intelligence".
Smith is an internationally recognized leader in cognitive science and cognitive development. Taking a complex systems perspective, she seeks to understand the interdependencies among perceptual, motor and cognitive developments during the first three years of post-natal life. Using wearable sensors, including head-mounted cameras, she studies how the young learner’s own behavior creates the statistical structure of the learning environments. Her work has led to novel insights currently being extended through collaborations to robotics and artificial intelligence. She received her PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 1977 and immediately after joined the faculty at Indiana University.
Her talk, she addressed how humans, including toddlers, are adept at taking knowledge from past experiences and using it in compelling new ways. She highlights findings from studies of toddler’s natural egocentric experiences, honing in on the main point that everyday experiences occur in time-extended episodes and proposed that these statistics are the secret ingredient to innovative intelligence. Moreover, they provide novel insights into the internal processes that learn, generalize and innovate.
