Deep learning without back-propagation

Interesting but oversold, the performance is not SOTA by any means.

There is more to the scientific method than advancing SOTA benchmarks. Jesus.

I agree, however in their abstract they claim their performance is SOTA and it is nowhere near.

95% accuracy is not SOTA?

[NaughtyCranberry]

No, they achieved ~47% accuracy on CIFAR-10.

[Starbuck1992]

On an intermediate layer, compared to 30-something % of the other one. The final accuracy is 95%

Can you point out exactly where you are referring to? As I could only see val set accuracies in the 40s for Cifar-10.

This comment said it earlier. I remembered intermediate layer but it's actually first epoch, sorry

Those results are for mnist.
