Schmidhuber did way more than LSTMs. And they still are SOTA on many tasks. You clearly are not very familiar with the field.

- pault 8y agoThat third sentence is not necessary.
- nabla9 8y agoI'm not saying that Schmidhuber is not important pioneer in the field. When you put researchers or groups into order of importance, the work from this trio comes before others, including Schmidhuber. The Turing Award is given to those at the top and it's not inclusive. If I could give Turing Award for someone in the field who has not received it yet, I would give it to Vladimir Vapnik.
- Nimitz14 8y agoSorry.
- gambler 8y ago>If I could give Turing Award for someone in the field who has not received it yet, I would give it to Vladimir Vapnik. So would I, but I don't think that will happen. He's is pretty much an antithesis to everything Deep Learning is about. Theory-first over trial-and-error, math over intuition, small datasets over big data, advances in understanding vs advances in results. I haven't seen a single discussion of his paper on combining classifiers[1] anywhere on the web.

- dang 8y agoWhoa. Personal attacks will get you banned here. We've warned you about this more than once before. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and follow the rules when posting here. When you do, don't miss this one, since it should have changed your assumption about the GP: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."
- Nimitz14 8y agoYou're right. Sorry.
- srean 8y agoJust a note, I did not find it any more rude than other comments that get a free pass. Commenting that more familiarity with the literature is necessary can be a very factual claim.
- dang 8y agoIt was an obvious violation of HN's rules. If you see other comments that violate the rules going unmoderated, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see them; we don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted. In that case the thing to do is to flag the comment (described at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html). In egregious cases, you can email hn@ycombinator.com as well.
