"What are you excited about right now in terms of deep learning?" 
"I'm excited about understanding documents. Instead of giving Google some words and it will find you some documents that have all those words, you give Google some themes and it will find you some documents that are conveying those themes even if there's using different words." - Geoffrey Hinton (2016)

And I'm excited for things like understanding documents.

I think there's going to be huge progress there over the next 5 to 10 years.

Instead of giving Google some words and it'll find you all the documents have those words in, you give Google some themes and it'll find the documents that are saying that even if they're saying it in different words and so you're going to be able to search for documents by what it is the documents are claiming independent of whatever the words are.

That would be kind of useful. You
