- Meet Geoffrey Hinton: U of T Professor Emeritus of computer science, an Engineering Fellow at Google, and Chief Scientific Adviser at the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence.
In this interview with U of T News, Prof. Hinton discusses his career, the field of artificial intelligence and the importance of funding curiosity-driven scientific research.
A computer science professor that's never taken a computer science course. Makes perfect sense to me, especially in the field of deep learning. I only wish more institutions (educational, private and corporate) would understand this phenomenon of exponential break through and achievement.
Many great solutions were solved by the most unlikely individuals with backgrounds, far removed from the knowledge and understanding of the problem at hand, in order to solve it. This is a core understanding I've observed over and over again, although infrequently, with astounding results.
I can only hope that one day the world will come together to realize this phenomenon to solve some of our most high priority challenges to make the world a much better place for us all.
John Seems to me I've earned my first hater on RUclips! Yaaaay! I'm truly honoured by your presence. :)
haha, most classy response to haters I've ever seen :)
can you please point out some more examples where people with an unlikely background solved the problem in a particular field.
Hundreds of Neural Network paradigms were developed by many, many researchers globally over the past 50-60 years. "DEEP LEARNING" is yet another minor variant recognized under the more general label "Multi-layered Neural Networks".
Quite intrigued by the current "DEEP LEARNING" boondoggle, promoted by Hinton and his Canadian backers.
Something tells me this guy has a disdain for education.
He thinks professors are fakers yet has designed fake replacements for them and for all levels of society.
I think this guy is insane.
Really? Why do you think so? His entire life is devoted to education. I have no clue why you so.
