Oh boy. I'm the second author. The official announcement will be in April 1st at the SIGBOVIK conference ( http://sigbovik.org/2016 ), but I guess someone broke the press embargo! By the way: It works, try it ;)

Don't want to be an asshole but it really can't be called Deep Learning if it doesn't do backprob. Deep inference, at best. The paper reads like a bad joke.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Very funny. A ton of people, I suspect, will take this seriously. If I may, let me suggest you add a note about your future plans to add backpropagation using Excel/Libreoffice macros, which "might allow users to train large-scale models from scratch within their lifetime."

I think it's feasible, even without macros! Just have to make our case to our advisors for it.
