Schmidhuber might do some fantastic research if he stopped living in the past.

He can do both. He does have interesting publications.

  • 2022 - 2x ICMLs, 1 x ICLR,
  • 2021 - 2x NeurIps, 2x ICMLs, 5x ICLRs, 1 x AAAI

One thing I like about Schmidhuber's publications are that the authors are often in small groups 2 or 3.

Ah I see you follow the religion of publication count.

Better than following an anonymous comment on Reddit. I also read his papers. But, the off hand comment doesn’t deserve a literature survey of Schmidhuber’s research .

Dude has been consistently publishing good ideas the whole time and continues to.

His criticism isn't that he should be lauded solely for past successes. It's that people, like LeCun, actively go out of their way to not cite his labs contributions out of personal and petty grievances with him as an individual, and often actively espouse the novelty of ideas he has already established.

Schmidhuber would have a way better point if he kept it to quality criticism. His OG papers are very often pretty far from the idea he tries to take credit for. Not that the high cited papers aren't a special case of something Schmidhuber also wrote a paper about, but in the same vein you can say that every paper is just a special case of a NN.
