1. Commonsense Reasoning and Commonsense Knowledge in Artificial Intelligence (2015 · 508 citations)
   This is a survey article on commonsense reasoning and knowledge about the everyday world, one of the oldest problems in artificial intelligence and one where progress has been slowest.
2. Deep Learning: A Critical Appraisal (2018 · 417 citations)
   This position paper by Gary Marcus examines deep learning about five years after its 2012 revival, which was sparked by the ImageNet convolutional network of Krizhevsky, Sutskever and Hinton.
3. The Next Decade in AI: Four Steps Towards Robust Artificial Intelligence (2020 · 332 citations)
   Marcus argues that a decade of progress built on generic learning algorithms, ever-bigger datasets and more compute has not produced AI that behaves dependably outside its training conditions.
