Right or not (I tend to think he is), it's incredibly shortsighted to write such an article which is bound to make him look bitter and low status. If you want to do this, you get a third party to it, come on...
- eli_gottlieb 11y agoYou basically can't make Schmidhuber look "low-status" within the subfield of neural networks. He puts some weird stuff on his personal website, but his work wins contests and his publication record speaks for itself.
- murbard2 11y agoStatus as in having a nature article centered around you and your work? There's no denying that he is a brilliant pioneer, and his accomplishments are indeed incredible, but that does not translate into status which is probably very upsetting.
- quasiresearcher 11y agoIt depends on what you mean by status. His papers are cited 13,493 times. And that's what matters to most scientists.
- mafribe 11y agoThere is an informal honour's code among scientists that you don't take credit for other people's ideas. While it is forgivable for a PhD or postdoc to be unaware of older work -- after all there's sooo much of it -- a senior researcher should not act carelessly with attributions. And where they do, it's useful to remind them that they have transgressed dearly held ethical norms.
