    Geoff Hinton may be the most brilliant living cognitive scientist- I've learned from (& often disagreed with) him on many topics since 1979.

        His rebranding of 'neural networks' as 'deep learning' was especially clever in reviving that field after it went dormant in the 1990s

        The history of the term "deep learning" is actually a bit more complicated than that.https://plus.google.com/100849856540000067209/posts/7N6z251w2Wd?pid=6127540521703625346&oid=100849856540000067209 …

        Brilliant and disagree are words I don't hear together enough. Let's argue toward truth more often and more energetically.
