What is PDP?
- alephnerd 3y agoParallel Distributed Processing (PDP) was a subgroup of CogSci and Neuroscience researchers who were using a neo-Connectionist approach to modeling cognition. Geoff Hinton was a early member of this group of MIT, UT, UCSD, and CMU psychologists, CogScientists, and CS researchers The core research of the PDP group is what became CNNs, which are what truly enabled LLMs (as most can trace their origins to the work done on BERT) One of Hinton's earliest papers in the space: https://stanford.edu/~jlmcc/papers/PDP/Chapter1.pdf https://stanford.edu/~jlmcc/papers/PDP/Chapter1.pdf
- Sai_ 3y agoUnrelated but I’ve seen and appreciated your posts on some totally unrelated topics - like Vietnam politics and Indian ghost cities and now, Hinton’s history in Compsci. How the hell do you know so many different things and in, what looks to me, considerable depth? Not trolling, genuinely impressed.
