I hate headlines like “X has solved Y.” How often have we see computer vision and natural language solved at this point, whenever a model does well enough in a benchmark? Their own article doesn’t even have that headline. This is a massively cool thing that’s happened. Why ruin it with a massively hyperbolic headline?
- TheRealPomax 6y agoBecause only the experts in this field get to tell us, the laymen, what "solving the protein folding problem means", and they defined it not as "perfect" but as "more than good enough to be acceptable as correct result". Which this did. X has actually solved Y. That's not so much "massively cool", that's historical.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 6y agoI think the “they” you’re referring to is only whatever PR person wrote the headline. Nowhere in the substance of this (PR!) post does it refer to it as anything but a great leap. When an expert in the field outside of deepmind says protein folding has been solved, I’ll believe it.
- nharada 6y agoIt does appear other experts in the field are claiming this: https://twitter.com/MoAlQuraishi/status/1333383769861054464 https://twitter.com/MoAlQuraishi/status/1333383769861054464
- falcor84 6y agoI don't think I ever saw a headline saying natural language is solved; who's claiming that?
- danaris 6y agoThe "solved protein folding" part isn't even in the article. It appears to be clickbait editorialization by whoever submitted the link.
