It's always been an international community. People in pretty much every country are doing some pretty amazing stuff. A lot of it you won't hear about if you limit yourself to press releases from venture capitalists.
Yeah, I thought a lot of the deep-learning revolution had come out of Canadian universities.
The biggest proponents of Chinese power is department of defense.
"Many Silicon Valley firms remain hesitant to be seen as working too closely with the Pentagon out of fear of losing access to China’s market." This is an interesting assertion, but I'd like to see some evidence.
>The new Chinese weapon typifies a strategy known as “remote warfare,” said John Arquilla, a military strategist at the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, Calif. The idea is to build large fleets of small ships that deploy missiles, to attack an enemy with larger ships, like aircraft carriers. This reminds me of a famous story of an early AI system, which competed against humans in a table top war game focused a…
Many of the best AI researchers are Chinese. But they almost all work for US companies. Which is why we cannot mess with immigration. This article is written for people outside the field? Baidu is alright but a bit of a shambles. All the did was build a dense GPU rack for RNN training. Their imagenet results were from cheating. The theoretically interesting work isn't really happening there. The Microsoft paper was f…
Also, hilariously, the article totally neglects that more research comes from Canada and Europe (deepmind) than the US....

In fact, given both Hinton and Bengio's being Canadian and LeCun being French, I would say US really in the game in terms of producing "AI grandmasters" (assuming that's their definition of grandmaster). Krizhevsky was studying in Canada. DeepMind is European.
From both the research and industrial perspectives, China's education system has well prepared students for the field of deep learning - the rigorous / analytic nature has proven a massive benefit when dealing with such large models and datasets.

Curious that the winning strategy resulted in the maximum loss of human life.

Exactly. I deeply respect ng and his team, but they are more applied. Also, hilariously, the article totally neglects that more research comes from Canada and Europe (deepmind) than the US....

This context is the proper use of the H1-B visa. Providing technical talent for which Americans can not fill the role.
But almost all of H1-B is abused where immigrants are used to do jobs that can be done by Americans as a means of lowering wages.
