> A more radical possibility is to give up trying to tackle the problem at hand by training just one big network and instead have multiple networks work in tandem. In June 2018, the DeepMind team published an example they call the Generative Query Network architecture (7, http://science.sciencemag.org/content/360/6394/1204?ijkey=01...), which harnesses two different networks to learn its way around complex virtual environments with no human input. One, dubbed the representation network, essentially uses standard image-recognition learning to identify what’s visible to the AI at any given instant. The generation network, meanwhile, learns to take the first network’s output and produce a kind of 3D model of the entire environment—in effect, making predictions about the objects and features the AI doesn’t see. For example, if a table only has three legs visible, the model will include a fourth leg with the same size, shape, and color.
