#2Star power at NIPS:
"Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, CTO Michael Schroepfer and I are at the Neural Information Processing Systems Conference in Lake Tahoe today. Mark will announce the news during his presentation at the NIPS Workshop on Deep Learning later today."
It seems Zuckerberg will have an apres-ski Q&A, and be in a panel discussion at day's end (https://sites.google.com/site/deeplearningworkshopnips2013/s...). Hope the room is big enough.

#3Wow. With Hinton at Google and LeCun at Facebook, industry has definitely been pulling some big names away from academia.

#5Looks awesome for once!
Re: Facebook's AI lab
#6Cool! Will soon see online/offline AI in action!

#7Can you imagine the datasets FB has to work with? Statuses, pictures, locations, social graphs. It's incredible. It's hard to blame LeCun/Hinton/Ng for moving towards industry with data like that. I'd bet that the only place with more data than FB/Google is our good friends at the NSA.

#8This is huge. LeCun is one of the leading AI experts in the world. With resources of Facebook I expect great things. I also see this as a technology bet by Facebook on long term strategy.
I own Facebook stock, so I might be biased.

My friend used to work at NSA research. He said they don't have much ready to use data yet

#10The AI facebook has today is already freaky to me at times... while I love any new advancement in AI, these advancements will probably not be used in my interests.
