- logicchains 1y agoI'm sure he wouldn't object to a Fields Medal either.
- triceratops 1y agoI chuckled but I also maybe didn't understand. Is the joke that computer science is a generalization of math? That can't be rigth.
- dgacmu 1y agoThe joke is that schmidhuber is known for (rightly or wrongly) pointing to modern contributions in deep neural networks and saying they're just a trivial generalization/adaptation/etc. of work he did 30 years ago.
