On Chomsky and the Two Cultures of Statistical Learning

At the Brains, Minds, and Machines symposium held during MIT’s 150th birthday party, Technology Review reports that Prof. Noam Chomsky derided researchers in machine learning who use purely statistical methods to produce behavior that mimics something in the world, but who don’t try to understand the meaning of that behavior. This essay discusses what Chomsky said, speculates on what he might have meant, and tries to determine the truth and importance of his claims.
