I was searching for any insightful blog/paper about distributed representation and stumbled upon Chapter 3, titled ‘Distributed Representation’, in the PDP book, and it was quite insightful for me; one of its authors is Geoffrey Hinton after all. There are other cool chapters that I want to read, but I don’t know whether I should invest time in reading a book from the 80’s, so I came here for advice; should I read it in 2019, or there is a better alternative?
