      “I’m not saying I want to forget deep learning... But we need to be able to extend it to do things like reasoning, learning causality, and exploring the world .” - Yoshua Bengio, not unlike what I have been saying since 2012 in The New Yorker.https://www.technologyreview.com/s/612434/one-of-the-fathers-of-ai-is-worried-about-its-future/ …

      Ideally, you'd be saying this through NeurIPS submissions rather than New Yorker articles. A lot of the push-back you're getting right now is due to the perception that you haven't been using the appropriate channels to influence the field.

      They also publish actual research though. I'm not saying Marcus nor Google/DeepMind/OpenAI/FAIR shouldn't talk to the media or the general public. But its hard to listen to complaints that the field isn't changing when you're not directly engaging with it.

      If you want to change the direction of an academic field (he does), then you should be speaking the language of academics. Present novel results using symbolic systems. DL has been incorporating more forms of prior knowledge, its unclear to me that it needs to correct course now.

          Not asking for AGI in a day, just a concrete algorithm/model/system. Its easy for you to poke holes in existing DL systems, but its currently impossible for us to poke holes in yours. I'd be happy to add a symbolic baseline to my next paper, but one has to exist.

          I actually think benchmarks are to some degree the wrong way forward, and have said that for two decades. People need to take a step back, and reflect on where things stand, rather than rushing into the next bakeoff.
