Schmidhuber torches LeCun: JEPA 'rehashes' his 1992 PMAX paper with no experiments
SchmidhuberAI · x · 2026-09-21
Schmidhuber publicly attacks LeCun over "double standards": LeCun's 2022 JEPA paper is an idea paper with no experiments that rehashes Schmidhuber's 1992 PMAX paper (which had many experiments). He also calls LeCun's claim that 1960s multilayer-network ideas "never worked" nonsense—citing Ivakhnenko & Lapa's 1965 deep nets and Ivakhnenko's 1971 8-layer network modeling the British economy, work LeCun's surveys never cite.
