Happy to answer them here. First of all, this work builds on Hinton et al.’s second paper, the one about EM routing of matrix capsules, from last year: https://ai.google/research/pubs/pub46653 This work is only minimally related to his previous paper (Sabour et al.&#x27;s paper) from two years ago! RESPONSES TO #1: * The same algorithm also achieves SOTA in another domain, natural language. Same code. I think it’s significant that the same code, without change, produces SOTA in two domains. See the README and tables 3 and 4 in the draft paper. Don&#x27;t you think this is significant?…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1907.00652/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
