It's so crazy. A researcher told me a big part of the problem is the way academics don't get credit and advancement if they publish in the "wrong" journals -- journals not in their field. A lack of transdisciplinariness is particularly harmful in medical research.

yes, i have seen it firsthand. it's part of why I retired very early from the academy. terrible for medical research, terrible for science in general.

I see Val posted the piece. But I would love to see op-eds and articles on the need for transdisciplinary science and also have this call be a part of scientific conferences, like
@SPSPnews and med research confs. This really needs to change.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -
Replying to @amyalkon @Lester_Domes and
a major if quiet theme of http://Rebooting.AI is that AI can't be solved by ML alone and needs lots of interdisciplinary collaboration. i would be happy to bring out that theme more strongly for some forum. (it's also implicit here: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/06/opinion/ai-explainability.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share … )

Does the Deepmind team include biologists, psychologists and cognitive scientists? I know their team includes neuroscientists although I haven't really seen them pursue neuromorphic ai

Many cognitive people. Just from 2-second scan of Matt's Scholar profile u see tons of ppl working on innate & compositionality-focused inductive biases Gary & others have emphasized https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.08162 https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.11390 https://deepmind.com/research/publications/deep-reinforcement-learning-relational-inductive-biases … https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.01261

And they all have The Algebraic Mind on their desks and whatever, I swear!

Given that there are tons of people with those interests, and many more papers being published that reflect that, I think the field of AI is actually decently healthy as a whole from the perspective of incorporating cog sci ideas...

Including variable binding and compositionality! So why does something like GPT-2 seem to get more attention? Well, many reasons. First, it is something everyone can understand, a very visceral demo, and one with potentially serious immediate application to deep fakes.
