What has the field\ndiscovered in the five subsequent years? Against a background of considerable\nprogress in areas such as speech recognition, image recognition, and game\nplaying, and considerable enthusiasm in the popular press, I present ten\nconcerns for deep learning, and suggest that deep learning must be supplemented\nby other techniques if we are to reach artificial general intelligence.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1801.00631v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1801.00631v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"deep-learning-a-critical-appraisal","repo_url":"https://github.com/astoycos/Mini_Project2","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"deep-learning","task_name":"Deep Learning"},{"task_slug":"speech-recognition","task_name":"Speech Recognition"},{"task_slug":"speech-recognition-1","task_name":"speech-recognition"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1801.00631","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
