Yann LeCun Quora Session Overview

On Thursday July 28, 2016, Yann LeCun took part in a Quora Session, a Q&A session hosted by Quora roughly analogous to Reddit's AMA format. LeCun was posed numerous questions, and provided insightful answers to many. What follows are a few excerpts from the session, including questions posed and partial LeCun answers. What are some recent and potentially upcoming breakthroughs in deep learning? The most important one, in my opinion, is adversarial training (also called GAN for Generative Adversarial Networks).
