Upvoted -- what a nice and detailed history.
Thanks for linking to the old NYT article on Frank Rosenblatt's work. One can see how researchers of the time were irked by delirious press releases when the credit-assignment problem for multilayer nets had not been addressed.
(We managed to mostly address the credit-assignment problem for multilayer nets...but the delirious press release problem remains unsolved.)
Incidentally, it's "Seymour Papert", not "Paper" (appears twice).
- andreyk 11y agoThank you, I will correct the typo.
- MrQuincle 11y agoThis is too long ago for me to know what actually happened. Both Rosenblatt as well as Minsky and Papert knew that networks could perfectly learn the XOR function. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptrons_(book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptrons_(book) and also stated in this article. I knew there was a fight between Minsky and Grossberg at that time. Perhaps there have been other reasons that are not so well known that led to an AI winter. Have these winters ever be quantified though?
