"...let me now comment on a recent article in Nature (2015) about "deep learning" in artificial neural networks (NNs), by LeCun & Bengio & Hinton (LBH for short), three CIFAR-funded collaborators who call themselves the "deep learning conspiracy" (e.g., LeCun, 2015). They heavily cite each other. Unfortunately, however, they fail to credit the pioneers of the field, which originated half a century ago." - Juergen Schmidhuber
This so-called critique reads more like sour grapes. If proper citation was missed, just list what it is specifically and move on. The thinly veiled ad hominem attacks speak volumes about the state of mind of the author of the critique.
