the following is a conversation with jay mcclelland a cognitive scientist at stanford and one of the seminal figures in the history of artificial intelligence and specifically neural networks having written the parallel distributed processing book with david rommelhart who co-authored the backpropagation paper with jeff hinton in their collaborations they've paved the way for many of the ideas at the center of the neural network-based machine learning revolution of the past 15 years

The host introduces Jay McClelland, mentioning his co-authorship of the 'parallel distributed processing book' with David Rumelhart as a key contribution.
