Yann LeCun, Christopher Manning on Innate Priors in Deep Learning Systems at Stanford AI

Yann LeCun is the Chief AI Scientist at Facebook AI Research, a Silver Professor at New York University, and one of the leading voices in AI. He pioneered the early use of convolutional neural networks, which have been central to the modern success of Deep Learning. LeCun has been a leading proponent for the ability of simple but powerful neural architectures to perform sophisticated tasks without extensive task-specific feature engineering. Christopher Manning is the Thomas M. Siebel Professor in Machine
