Most of language modeling is unsupervised (you predict next word, but it&amp;#x27;s not real supervision because it&amp;#x27;s self-supervision). There&amp;#x27;re many works in computer vision which are unsupervised and still give more or less reasonable performance. See f.e. http://arxiv.org/pdf/1511.05045v2.pdf for unsupervised learning in action recognition, also http://arxiv.org/pdf/1511.06434v2.pdf and http://www.arxiv-sanity.com/search?q=unsupervised (2) ImageNet supervision gives you much information to solve other computer vision tasks.

For a direct link to the visual saliency maps from the paper (Figure 6) which @nicklo mentions: http://i.imgur.com/DRfaNxB.png Being able to see where a neural attention mechanism is fascinating and allows for far more than just introspection. Indeed, one of the earliest and coolest examples are neural attention mechanisms learning to align words between languages without any help[1]! http://i.imgur.com/J5zFZzN.png New papers on neural attention seem to be coming out every few weeks. I devoted much of my weekend to a naive implementation of hierarchical attentive…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1602.03218/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
