A Brief History of Deep Learning

It is said that deep learning started to draw a lot of attention in the competition of large-scale image recognition due to the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSRVC), which was held in 2012. In the competition, a deep learning technique called AlexNet achieved an overwhelming win, overturning the traditional approaches to image recognition. Since deep learning launched a counterattack in 2012, it has always played the leading role in subsequent competitions. Here, we will look at the current trend of deep learning around the competition of large-scale image recognition, known as ILSVRC.
