This post had 75 upvotes and only 1 comment. Not a lot of bikeshedding -- that suggests many people are excited about this field and very few are actively involved. I was curious if there are people here working with deep learning and nlp either doing research professionally or in their spare time. It means to me that there might be a lot of opportunity in this field.

I agree. People are really excited but it takes some knowledge to make a intelligent comment to this. I for one read a lot of NIPS paper's but don't understand most of them enough.

Anther reason could also be the nature of the post. It's more of a summary, and not controversial topic that would lead to heated discussions.
