Jonathan Frankl: The Role of Sparsity in Neural Networks

Numenta emphasizes sparsity while exploring neural networks and gradient descent. Architectural tweaks improve optimization for gradient descent, but sparsity allows for a more robust representation. However, shoehorning everything for gradient descent is harmful in the long run. Sparsity is crucial for efficient learning.
