It's an unbelievably valuable resource to humanity.

If Coursera succeeds it'll be worth far more than 2.5B.

There's one minor difference between past models of the brain and deep learning: deep learning can actually perform difficult and useful cognitive tasks that cannot be accomplished…

Deep learning is as close to being a "newtonian theory" of the brain as it gets -- deep learning abstracts away a lot of the complexity of neural systems (e.g., a simple artificial…

Deep learning?

Number 6 is not a myth!!!

That's a good point.

Quite incredible that he was interested in NNs back in 1990. He closed this thread very well.

(ml expert here) This doesn't seem true. Neural networks are great at detection, so they should be similarly good at determining whether two objects are identical or not. The fact …
