Technology Quotes by Geoffrey Hinton

I think the way we're doing computer vision is just wrong.

— Geoffrey Hinton

My main interest is in trying to find radically different kinds of neural nets.

— Geoffrey Hinton

Humans are still much better than computers at recognizing speech.

— Geoffrey Hinton

In deep learning, the algorithms we use now are versions of the algorithms we were developing in the 1980s, the 1990s. People…

— Geoffrey Hinton

I am scared that if you make the technology work better, you help the NSA misuse it more. I'd be more worried…

— Geoffrey Hinton

Take any old classification problem where you have a lot of data, and it's going to be solved by deep learning. There's…

— Geoffrey Hinton

All you need is lots and lots of data and lots of information about what the right answer is, and you'll be…

— Geoffrey Hinton

Once your computer is pretending to be a neural net, you get it to be able to do a particular task by…

— Geoffrey Hinton

Early AI was mainly based on logic. You're trying to make computers that reason like people. The second route is from biology:…

— Geoffrey Hinton

The question is, can we make neural networks that are 1,000 times bigger? And how can we do that with existing computation?

— Geoffrey Hinton

I think we should think of AI as the intellectual equivalent of a backhoe. It will be much better than us at…

— Geoffrey Hinton

Deep learning is already working in Google search and in image search; it allows you to image-search a term like 'hug.' It's…

— Geoffrey Hinton

We now think of internal representation as great big vectors, and we do not think of logic as the paradigm for how…

— Geoffrey Hinton

As soon as you have good mechanical technology, you can make things like backhoes that can dig holes in the road. But…

— Geoffrey Hinton

Everybody right now, they look at the current technology, and they think, 'OK, that's what artificial neural nets are.' And they don't…

— Geoffrey Hinton

I think people need to understand that deep learning is making a lot of things, behind-the-scenes, much better. Deep learning is already…

— Geoffrey Hinton

Most people in AI, particularly the younger ones, now believe that if you want a system that has a lot of knowledge…

— Geoffrey Hinton

I have always been convinced that the only way to get artificial intelligence to work is to do the computation in a…

— Geoffrey Hinton

Now that neural nets work, industry and government have started calling neural nets AI. And the people in AI who spent all…

— Geoffrey Hinton

My view is we should be doing everything we can to come up with ways of exploiting the current technology effectively.

— Geoffrey Hinton

Any new technology, if it's used by evil people, bad things can happen. But that's more a question of the politics of…

— Geoffrey Hinton

The paradigm for intelligence was logical reasoning, and the idea of what an internal representation would look like was it would be…

— Geoffrey Hinton

The pooling operation used in convolutional neural networks is a big mistake, and the fact that it works so well is a…
