This is a must-watch video from the Allen Institute for AI for anyone seriously interested in artificial intelligence. It’s 70 minutes long, but worth it. Some of the highlights from my perspective are:
- 27:27 where the key reason that deep learning approaches fail at understanding language are discussed
- 31:30 where the inability of inductive approaches to address logical quantification or variables are discussed
- 39:30 thru 42+ where the inability of deep learning to perform as well as Watson and the inability of Watson to understand or reason are discussed
The astute viewer and blog reader will recognize this slide as discussed by Oren Etzioni here.
