alt Hacker NewsPretty obvious when you think that neural networks operate with numbers and very complex formulas (by combining several simple formulas with various weights). You can map a lot of things to number (words, colors, music notes,…) but that does not means the NN is going to provide useful results.
Everything is obvious if you ignore enough of the details/problem space. I’ll read the paper rather than rely on my own thought experiments and assumptions.
