Is this a case of multiple discovery?[1] And might something similar happen with AGI? Here are 4 projects who have concurrently developed very similar looking models:
(1) University of Toronto: Unifying Visual-Semantic Embeddings with Multimodal Neural Language Models
(2) Baidu/UCLA: Explain Images with Multimodal Recurrent Neural Networks
(3) Google: A Neural Image Caption Generator
(4) Stanford: Deep Visual-Semantic Alignments for Generating Image Descriptions
[1] The concept of multiple discovery is the hypothesis that most scientific discoveries and inventions are made independently and more or less simultaneously by multiple scientists and inventors.
How meaningful is the "independent" criterion given the heavy overlaps in works cited and what I imagine must be a fairly recent academic MRCA among all the researchers involved?
