It would be nice if people would compare their stuff a bit more. Hinton gets a lot of attention with deep belief networks. Grossberg tried to do a lot with adaptive resonance theory. Schmidhuber has something going on with long-short--term memory. Perlovsky has yet another neural network model. All intelligent people and I love reading their work, but they should sit together and MAKE the mainstream. :-)

Just describe the basic mathematical formulations and define what is different between you and the other. I wish they would do this more and write less verbose papers.
