Nope. Linear regression will not reconstruct images, nor will it create and generate new images that have not existed previously from databases of images. Nor will it translate colloquial Chinese into colloquial English, nor will it deconstruct a question into a set of queries and generate an answer.
The issue isn't the availability of fantastic algorithmics, it's the availability of people who can see them and apply them to real applications.
- hyperbovine 9y agoIn fact linear regression could be used to do all of those things, most of them poorly but some of them pretty well (see dictionary learning). If you believe otherwise then you fundamentally misunderstand how neural networks work.
- sgt101 9y agoOhhh - so the multilayer perceptron xor thing is all wrong? I can use bricks to build a boat, if you think I can't then you don't understand floating.
- fasquoika 9y ago>I can use bricks to build a boat, if you think I can't then you don't understand floating. Is this supposed to be sarcastic? Because it's absolutely true...
- Magnap 9y agoI think the point is that you can build a boat out of bricks, and you can build neural networks out of linear regression. But that doesn't make modern AI "just fancy linear regression" the same way modern boats aren't "just fancy bricks".
