Sure, but dropout actually increases training error (makes you less likely to find the globally optimal training error), with (sometimes) a decrease in generalization error (test error). So any connection is very thin.

I'm not sure dropout has anything to do with local optima or removing greedily optimal paths, since it is random. The original dropout paper's handwavy justification for dropout is that it prevents co-adaptation. It prevents indiv

That is very, very weak evidence.

The very method of using a word embedding space assumes the manifold is smooth, so the fact that vectors extracted from a method that assumes a smooth manifold, are in fact on a smooth manifold, is just circular and not evidence of anything

All those sentences sound (mentally) a lot differently. Some of those sentences give you the impression the speaker is an idiot, for example.

I specifically and mindfully added those words because everything is really an open research question . Would you rather I dissembled a false sense of confidence? If anything, you're stating your vague case way over-confidently. Turin

Sorry, I've edited my original comment to be clearer. What I really meant is that there is wide tolerance of noise in those domains. "How long does stars last" has a completely different meaning than "How long do stars l

I don't think there will be a winter. There are enough successes in computer vision.

Deep learning has succeeded tremendously with perception in domains that tolerate lots of noise (audio/visual). Will those successes continue with perception in domains that are not noisy (language) and inference/control , whic

1) Discussion based on rationality , of those topics, is worthless. Elon Musk says he is almost certain we are living in a simulation, because of probabilities . 2) You're the one calling it idol worship. I'm pointing out that m

Let's not resort to calling people names. Your argument is ironically the reductive one. I have complete respect for people who choose to believe in an organized religion. But it remains the case that whether or not you can prove a h

It can't. We cannot distinguish between flaws and non-flaws. What is a flaw anyways? That is ill-defined - we are conjecturing about what will or will not be present in a reality that we have no indication will resemble our reality.

It's funny to see grown adults in tech taking the simulation idea seriously just because Elon Musk said it. I was interested in science fiction in high school and thought about these things, but I concluded they were worthless. Why? It
