I have a browser extension that replaces the phrase "Artificial Intelligence" with the phrase "A bunch of if statements". This might have been one of the top results.
- 0xfaded 8y agoI'm also quite dismissive of AI overuse. My preferred substitution is s/Machine Learning/Machine Guessing. However, these are 3 people who overcame a lot of nay-sayers to prove some something could actually work. I remember back in university the lecturer said that neural networks couldn't scale because of the vanishing gradient problem. It was actually very easy to be critical, you want fit a massive number of parameters which are not-very-orthoganal to an under constrained problem? Sounds pretty dumb to me! I think these 3 deserve recognition for their tenacity and the new world of "under defined gradient decent", sometimes called DL, which they opened up.
- TaupeRanger 8y agoComputational Statistics is probably most accurate.
- dna_polymerase 8y agoThe description available on the ACM website right now doesn't mention AI: "For conceptual and engineering breakthroughs that have made deep neural networks a critical component of computing." [0] As it should be. The whole AI buzz misleads people into thinking we are close to solving things we actually are not. Like upload filters capable of differentiating fair use and copyright infringement.
