"The result is reasonable pattern recognition which lacks explainability".
I would prefer to say *lacks explanation*. Historically, Minsky inadvertently pushed the field's academic development underground for a few decades, but this isn't really enough (IMHO) to establish a pattern of cycles. While I know it can be annoying to make comparisons between artificial neural networks and their biological analogs, this need for *explanation* seems common to both. I am impressed by the progress that is being made and remain hopeful that more is yet to come. OTOH, there is a lot of difficult engineering, scientific, mathematical, and philosophical work still ahead. -- Sent from: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ - .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. .
