Question on the Power and Limits of Deep Learning:
Dear LeCun,
The state of the art in deep learning has been inspired by the way human brains work. Sometimes, however, the analogy between artificial and natural intelligence seems to fall apart. The first example that comes to mind is how convolutional neural networks are based on how humans recognize objects in the visual cortex. However, CNNs are not exact models of the human visual system. Given these kinds of scenarios, do you still see the paradigm that connects human brain function to ANNs as a promising one for deep learning going forward? Or does this suggest that we know less about human brain function than we thought?
What do you think about the feasibility and scope of model compression and pruning in cnn for inference on resource constrained mobile devices?
