As an add-on to this: I'd encourage anyone interested in this debate to read Rich Sutton's "The Bitter Lesson" (http://www.incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html). At every point in time, the best systems we can build today will be ones leveraging lots of domain-specific information. But the systems that will continue to be useful in five years will always be the ones freely that scale with increased parallel compute and data, which grow much faster than domain-specific knowledge. Learning systems with the ability to use context to develop domain-specific knowledge "on their own" are the only way to ride the wave of this computational bounty. |
