“Statistics is how you're going to keep from lying to yourself.”

统计学是让你不自欺欺人的方法。

“ICML was machine learning done by computer scientists, and NeurIPS was machine learning done by computer scientists trying to impress statisticians.”

ICML是计算机科学家做的机器学习，而NeurIPS是计算机科学家试图给统计学家留下深刻印象的机器学习。

“Chemistry is just physics, but I don't think it's as useful to think about chemistry as being just physics.”

化学只是物理学，但我认为将化学仅仅视为物理学并不那么有用。

“You have to give them what they need without bending to their will.”

你必须给予他们所需的东西，同时不屈服于他们的意志。

“The reward for good work is more work. The reward for bad work is less work.”

出色工作的奖励是更多的工作，糟糕工作的奖励是更少的工作。

“I am not particularly moved by the idea that if we're not careful, we will accidentally create a super intelligence that will destroy human life.”

我并不特别认同这样一种观点：如果我们不小心，就会意外创造出一个会毁灭人类生命的超级智能。

“I believe that in the process of actually developing technology that can really get around in the world and really process and do things in the world in a sophisticated way, we're going to learn a lot about what that means.”

我相信，在真正开发能够熟练地在世界中活动、处理和执行任务的技术的过程中，我们会学到很多关于这意味着什么的知识。

“Sometimes you need a really good... human expert in the process of machine learning.”

在机器学习过程中，有时你需要一个真正优秀的人类专家。

“The algorithms from which we've seen the biggest improvements in practice are the very simple, like dumb algorithms that are able to leverage computation.”

我们在实践中看到最大改进的算法，是那些非常简单、甚至有些‘愚蠢’但能够利用计算能力的算法。
