Deep learning surpassed human performance in image recognition: traffic signs (2011) and human faces (2014)

Dependents

These beliefs depend on this one:

• OUT deep-learning-fully-automates-representation — Deep learning fully automates representation learning through hierarchical feature discovery, eliminating the need for manual feature engineering in all practical settings.
• IN deep-learning-superhuman-vision-from-alexnet — AlexNet's 2012 ImageNet victory is widely considered the start of the deep learning revolution in computer vision. Following this, deep learning surpassed prior computer vision methods on benchmarks for classification, segmentation, and optical flow, and exceeded human-level performance on specific visual recognition tasks such as traffic sign recognition (2011) and face recognition (2014).
• OUT neural-networks-deployment-ready — Neural networks can be reliably deployed given superhuman benchmark performance and established optimization techniques for embedded hardware.
