Yeah of course. I can't explain to you why NNs outperform bayesian approaches, probably just NNs are capturing the correct type of prior for vision/language tasks. And yeah bayesian models are more interpretable but when you have millions of latent variables I'm not sure interpretability is a thing.

Yep, we arrived at my larger point: if you care about interpretability, NNs are horrible and Bayesian techniques are pretty damn great.

Well certainly, but interpretability is obsolete.

Now you're just trolling. :)
