Knowledge, Learning, Community

It's hard to get a higher level set of talks than this, but they are also very accessible. Hinton's talk is entitled, "The Deep Learning Revolution" and LeCun's talk is entitled "The Deep Learning Revolution: The Sequel." Hinton: "One model is what I call 'intelligent design' and you call 'programming'." Some good comments - for example, language translation is a great task for neural networks, because it's symbols in and symbols out - but it works best when it's all vectors in between. And on the future of understanding reasoning - but not with inferences and rules, because that's enpty of any content. And the explanation of short-term memory - short-term changes in synapse weights. Great stuff.
