That's not the author's argument at all. Even the subtitle of the article says "We’ll need both deep learning and symbol manipulation to build AI.".
- posterboy 8y agoA compromise between the two would be to identify powerful abstructions over nodes and nets that are equivalent to symbol manipulation circuits. Self assembly and self modification are certainly not strange to symbolic logic, but this doesn't work so well for most programmers. So we need more geniuses and they need to tailor neural nets to help them build symbolic logic (if only as intermediate debugging output).
