AI Twitter coins 'Get Hintoned' meme, reviving Hinton's 1995 wake-sleep paper
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-28
An AI-circle meme: a user tagged @GoogleResearch saying they should "Get Hintoned" for once (instead of the classic "Schmidhubered" credit-claiming joke), attaching the first page of Hinton, Dayan, Frey & Neal's April 1995 paper The wake-sleep algorithm for unsupervised neural networks — an unsupervised algorithm where bottom-up recognition and top-down generative connections take turns driving learning in wake/sleep phases. Another reply jokes Sutton should join too.
