I seem to remember reading something in college back in the 90s in an AI textbook saying that the pendulum of favor has swung back and forth between neural modeling and symbolic approaches, and what would probably achieve success in the future is a hybrid of the two. Is this a new idea?
- mrmonkeyman 6y agoOf course not. But executing it right is hard.
- slaymaker1907 6y agoI think it's one of those ideas which is easy to state and easy to come up with by looking at the history but is very difficult to implement in practice. What does combining these ideas even mean?
- swalsh 6y agoCS has this tendency to revive old ideas as we make progress with hardware. Raytracing for example is nowhere near a new idea, but with the progress made in graphics processors, real-time raytracing is suddenly the big new thing.
