Ilya Sutskever Did
On a Sunday, I was programming and there was knock on the door not just any knock but it was cutter. It’s sort of an urgent knock so I went and answer to door and this was young student there and he said he was cooking fries over the summer but he’d rather be working in my lab. And so I said ‘Well why didn’t you make an appointment and we’ll talk?’ And so Ilya said ‘How about now!’. And that is sort of Ilya’s character. So we talked for a bit and I gave him a paper to read which was the nature paper on back propagation. - Geoffrey Hinton
For a week later and he came back and he said I didn’t understand it. I was very disappointed I since I though he seemed like a bright guy but it’s only the chain rule. He said “on no no I understood that. I just don’t understand why you don’t give the gradient to a sensible function optimizer” which took us quite a few years to think that. It kept on like that with a he had very good raw intuitions about things.
