Is Deep Learning Statistical Learning ( Jay Mc Clelland) Donostia 2019 Statistical Learning

Over 25 years ago, behavioral investigations of statistical learning in humans (from infancy to adulthood) and computational modeling work using simple recurrent networks introduced a revolution in thinking about the role that learning and sensitivity to statistical structure might play in shaping structured knowledge even in domains such as language, where a role for statistics had often been denied. More recently, deep learning architectures have achieved remarkable success in a range of complex cognitive
