AlexNet Wins ImageNet and Starts the Deep Learning Boom

Starts 09/30/2012CONFIRMED 87% CONFIDENCEWikipedia's^[2][3] AlexNet article gives the submission date without hedging: "The three formed team SuperVision and submitted AlexNet in the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge on September 30, 2012." The paper itself, "ImageNet Classification with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks", followed in Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 25 later that year; the pin takes the dated competition result.

Alex Krizhevsky, Ilya Sutskever and Geoffrey Hinton submit a deep convolutional network to the ImageNet challenge as team SuperVision and win by a wide margin. The result turns GPU deep learning from a niche into an industry.
