Well, I’m interested in understanding how valuable deep learning is and if lives up to the hype.
Better translation of European languages (which wasn’t a totally unsolved problem anyway) doesn’t seem to be something that really lives up to the hype.
Particularly as the article cited doesn’t seem to back up its statements very well.
So... anything else?
- brucephillips 9y agoIf super human translation doesn't impress you, what will?
- comstock 9y agoThe article doesn’t make that statement. The article doesn’t provide data to support any statements (it’s a pop science piece). The original blog: https://research.googleblog.com/2016/09/a-neural-network-for-machine.html?m=1 https://research.googleblog.com/2016/09/a-neural-network-for... Is better suggests deep learning resulted in maybe 10% improvement. Isn’t as good as human in all cases.
- brucephillips 9y agoAh I misread "as good" as "better". It's still an epsilon difference, though. And the article lists other applications that have had "step wise" improvements, which is the opposite of incremental of course. Also, you didn't answer the question.
