In a more general response: I don't think what I stated obscures what's notable about the system, I feel I stated exactly what was notable and specifically avoided overstating it. Overhyping when it comes to machine learning and AI seems to be the norm and has already hurt AI/ML severely in the past[1]. More specifically: I didn't disagree with anything you've stated, simply pointed out that labeled training data is necessary in response to the statement that it wasn't.The high-level feature extraction the paper discusses is unsupervised but the classifiers it produces are semi-supervised. It's an important distinction. [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter
