Deep learning no longer has a spokesperson, laments NLP researcher
srush_nlp · x · 2026-09-12
NLP researcher srush half-jokingly laments that deep learning used to have a leading figure speaking for the field, but it's unclear who would represent the community today. He contrasts this with mathematics, which has a recognized #1 champion and articles often framed as "Mr. Math and friends have something to say"—hinting that AI's voices have grown fragmented.
