Peter Domingos? Really? Did they mean Pedro?
Sigh. Another instance of pop science getting most everything wrong (and I haven't even bothered to write anything about the technical content in the article).
- apsec112 10y agoCould you say more? What do you think are the technical inaccuracies?
- argonaut 10y agoA few I noted: Neural nets don't emulate the brain. NIPS is not an obscure conference, it's been the top ML conference for decades (sure, it's an obscure conference to laymen, but so is pretty much every science publication conference).
- a7x11 10y agoAgreed with this guy. Back when I started grad school (2012), NIPS was already so big they moved it to Vegas, but the casino venue didn't fly so well, so it moved to Montreal. NIPS was obscure maybe in the early 2000s, but definitely NOT since the last 5 6 years.
