Bayesian brain theories of perception. The neuroscientists and cognitive scientists are still waiting for the AI theorists to stop obsessing over that one paper with the cat's visual cortex and get off the deep learning train of sacrificing correctness for cheapness to compute.


this is not a case that happened


As a matter of fact, the mainstream AI community hasn't adopted probabilistic programming, but it does exist.


you re going way off topic . this is about AI discoveries which in retrospect were found to have been discovered by neuroscience. you 're complaining that a potential theory (which is only partially supported by evidence) might one day hypothetically be found useful in AI.


Feel free to link to any Kaggle blog posts showing victories using probabilistic programming.

Is your opinion independent of evidence?
