Saturday Profile, June 24, 2017, New York Times
Gregory Everest Hinton, sometimes called “the godfather of deep learning,” is perhaps the most influential person you’ve never heard of. This profile in the NY Times is a fascinating introduction to a remarkable human life.
Hinton’s career has helped to further the fields of neurobiology, psychology, neural networks and artificial intelligence (AI). There is much in this Times profile that will interest you.
Hinton famously said: “There is no reason to think computers won’t get much smarter than us.” Can't wait for the dumbing down Hollywood biopic!
