A deep convolutional network wins the ImageNet challenge

node

The network entered by Alex Krizhevsky, Ilya Sutskever and Geoffrey Hinton achieved a top-5 error rate of 15.3% on the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge against 26.2% for the runner-up — a margin large enough that the method, rather than the increment, became the story. It was an eight-layer convolutional network trained on graphics processors with dropout regularisation, and it learned its own features rather than being given hand-designed ones. Within about two years essentially every serious entry in computer vision was a deep network. This is the conventional starting point for the present era, and it is a defensible one: it is the moment a public, externally scored, held-out test was won by a wide margin by a method the field had largely written off.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

  35. Evidence
  36. An eight-layer convolutional network — five convolutional and three fully connected layers — trained on graphics processors with dropout regularisation achieved a top-5 error rate of 15.3% at ILSVRC 2012 against 26.2% for the second-placed entry, learning hierarchical features rather than using hand-designed ones. V55 verification basis: the paper was not fetched. The 15.3% and 26.2% figures and the architecture description were carried in multiple retrieved summaries and in a hosted copy of the paper itself, but the attribution in those summaries is to secondary explainers as often as to the paper, and a curator should confirm both error rates against the ILSVRC 2012 results table before publication.
