#2Don'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.

#3Haven't tried the actual file yet, but the idea sounds interesting.
Not sure how academic papers are written normally, but do such papers normally refer to open source licenses as "Commie"? And does anyone know what the paper/project was created for?

That's because it apparently is actually a joke. "Website under construction! Official Release Date: April 1st 2016."

I think that the authors of such excellent publications such as "Visually Identifying Rank", "A Spectral Method for Ghost Detection" and "N-dimensional Polytope Schemes"[1] deserve a little more credit than that.

I suspect the project was created in preparation for the SIGBOVIK conference[1] or similar.
It's sort of a satirical or mock conference; these guys have created a number of ingenious projects over the years[2], but this one might be their masterpiece.
Certainly it's going to give my own entry[3] a run for its money.

2. http://oneweirdkerneltrick.com
3. A sort of analog neural net using a biological substrate to perform communication and learning. Basically, I've trained some wild dogs I found in the alley behind my apartment for function approximation. Originally I had intended to use a pretty standard hill-climbing approach, but they kept wandering away when I ran out of treats. My new method arranges them in a series of layers for PAC (provably all canine) learning, with the gradients transmitted by bark-propagation. I've not figured out how to implement convolutional operations in this framework yet, so I might hold off on publishing anything this year.

#7I laughed because it was funny. Then I laughed again harder when I realized that it was supposed to be funny.

Not even April Fool yet and people begin to leak stuff ahead of time. sigh

Of course it's a joke. This is the programming equivalent of some of the research that wins Ig Nobels.

#10Oh 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 ;)
