Brain Quote by Geoffrey Hinton
“The brain has about ten thousand parameters for every second of experience. We do not really have much experience about how systems like that work or how to make them be so good at finding structure in data.”

Neural networks have many parameters per experience, yet we lack deep understanding of their internal workings.
In simple terms: We know little about how they learn.
Key Takeaway
