This whole comment section is full of absolutely unacceptable ad-hominem attacks on Schmidhuber, from people who most likely haven't even read any of the works in question and are certainly not showing any of the "intellectual curiosity" this site is supposed to be about.
Anyone who cares about academic integrity should at least not attack someone complaining of plagiarism. That sort of attack is the academic equivalent of blaming the victim. If even half of Schmidhuber's accusations have a basis that's still a major academic scandal of epic proportions.
- peterfirefly 3y agoI tried reading one of his papers that he claimed contained an important concept avant la lettre. It was unreadable and it required an almost Marxist torture of the text to make it confess (weakly and unconvincingly) that it contained anything remotely like the idea he claimed it did.
- mavelikara 3y agoWhat is "Marxist torture"?
- logicchains 3y ago>It was unreadable Which paper was that; I've always found his writing relatively clear. Are you sure it wasn't just the case that you didn't understand the paper?
- matkoniecz 3y ago> Anyone who cares about academic integrity should at least not attack someone complaining of plagiarism What about cases when accusation was unreasonable and not matching reality?
- dr_dshiv 3y agoI came to Schmidhuber's work learning about his approach on creativity and curiosity and I loved it so much. It’s still so relevant. And beautiful, actually. https://arxiv.org/pdf/0709.0674.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/0709.0674.pdf
