Yes you are right.

Still, deep learning has done nothing more than classification right now.

What about predictive distributions, regression of complicated outputs (e.g. periodic data) and, most of all, heterogenous inputs? Right: nothing impressive has been done in that area, despite of huge amounts of practical problems.

Let's see if deep learning generalizes to those things. If it does (and I personally believe so) let's be happy. Before that, we still have to envy what Gaussian processes, Gradient boosting machines and random forests can do what DL so far cannot.
