### Program reasoning about own source code

I think you are asking about two different things. The ability of a programming language to represent all its programs as data. Reasoning about programs as data. For analytical purposes it's ...

### Program reasoning about own source code

No there is no current system that does all four steps in your system. If you want to design a system one of the first requirements is homoiconic language. At minimum you would want your core ...

### Program reasoning about own source code

As @user217281728's answer mentions there are a type of machines related more to inference and AI, called Gödel Machines A Gödel machine is a self-improving computer program invented by Jürgen ...

### Machine Learning Algorithm To Fill Data Holes

In stats I think they'd say "imputation". CS theorists might model this as "matrix completion" (if you make it a matrix), "collaborative filtering" (like in the Netflix challenge). Maybe others know ...

### Minmax vs Maxmin

First of all, there is a lot of information in this related question: Max Min of function less than Min max of function. That said, the source of your problem is a confusion about which choices are ...

### Machine Learning Algorithm To Fill Data Holes

Your question is underspecified. If you just want to fill the gaps, put some fixed arbitrary value there. To make the question interesting you have to specific some condition for preferring one way ...

### Stochastic gradient methods and risk of neural nets

The question has changed somewhat in the comments, so I'll address its new version: "Given a class of algorithms $A$ and an $\epsilon >0$ and a loss class $L$ and a data distribution $D$, one ...

### Are there proofs which show that AIs are bound to be "worse" than the human brain?

I suppose the scientific consensus is that while we are very far from there, in principle a digital artificial intelligence could mimic a human intelligence. For some recent work on the Church-...

### Representation of procedural knowledge

You are probably speaking about something like a process ontology. Lately, that research has focused (moved?) on semantic workflows, e.g. to model processes in science, related with reproducibility. ...

### To what extent is "advanced mathematics" needed/useful in A.I. research?

The maths involved in AI are not advanced, and are taught at the undergrad level. AI training and inferencing algorithms are in the domain of advanced Computer Science. It is a bit of a word game. ...
