Almost, the last patent is about SVMs which are a different ML learning paradigm (one that completely eclipsed neural networks for some time, for what it's worth). > I think what's happening (what always happens) is that people overreact and have a hard time finding nuance when they are upset. Yup. I agree that software patents, in the US at least, are a bit of a cluster-fuck, but it's evidently not true that nothing non-trivial was ever patented.
