Yoshua Bengio: Deep learning pioneer Yoshua Bengio looks forward to neural nets that can reason.

Recent advances in deep learning largely have come by brute force: taking the latest architectures and scaling up compute power, data, and engineering. Do we have the architectures we need, and all that remains is to develop better hardware and datasets so we can keep...
