This piece delves into the intriguing realm of ineffable computing, where human perception intersects with advanced technologies. It questions how we justify existence, communication, and learning in a world filled with complex networks and uncertainties. The narrative tackles topics such as dangerous versus safe examples in supervised learning, the significance of feature selection, and the impact of grounding states in perceptual systems. Join us as we explore these concepts and the future directions of computational understanding, communication, and learning mechanisms.

Fighting the Ineffable • Use minimal descriptions • Use strategic viewpoints • Just get better at describing stuff • Big complicated perceptual networks

Why Communication? • Why not just programming? • Referential indeterminacy is disruptive • Why not just learning? • How to use what is learned • How to pose next learning task • Hand-holding but not spoon-feeding
Future Directions • Ineffable Computing • Unprovoked Computing • Dysfunctional Computing • Quantum Dysfunctional Computing
Brief Rants • Why not imitation? • Imitation is a question, not an answer • Why not naïve users? • Humans don’t stay naïve for long • Humanoids, Cog, Kismet, simulation, emotions, faces, scientific pointillism
