who's to doubt neural networks are completely awesome ? Any more news about those chips that were optimized for neural networks ? Was it IBM or Samsung ?

Any more news about those chips that were optimized for neural networks ? Was it IBM or Samsung ?
- j2kun 12y agoWe have very few theoretical results about neural networks. So not completely awesome.
- jokoon 12y agoI mean there is a big future for neural networks
- j2kun 12y agoWell you asked a question and I answered it honestly :)
- jokoon 12y ago> So not completely awesome. I don't think I understand your point. By awesome I meant it's a very exciting/interesting field of research. I don't mean to call thermodynamics awesome because it powers cars or because it's a well research field. Trying to understand how the brain works or making a computer that works in a similar way is awesome to me. If there are still computational limitations that makes it not practical, that's still an awesomely interesting subject.
- jbarrow 12y agoIt was the IBM SyNAPSE Chip [1]. It's actually been known since 1988/89 that neural networks can approximate any continuous function [2], but this chapter explains how in a much more intuitive sense.
