Could you implement an approximate matrix multiplication in a direct analogue way? If so, I wonder why it hasn't been used for graphics cards.

The rigor of this claim is very questionable. I assume it's based on neuron == hidden unit. In any case though my guess is that a human neuron accomplishes way more than a hidden unit in a NN so it may be fair to view that as a lower-

"The real interesting comparison lies elsewhere. Also we have to take into account that we can not use the same tests on intelligence on both populations." I actually think that intelligence test questions have highly correlated d

I would advocate for using standardized test scores. If you're a smart dropout, even high school dropout, you could take the tests within just a few weeks. Perhaps there does need to be some kind of flexibility for people who are not

Everyone is complaining that the prize is very small relative to the value of a successful dialog startup. But I don't see what's bad about this. Amazon is open about how small the prize and presumably that will mean that anyone
