Deep learning has surpassed prior computer vision methods on classification, segmentation, and optical flow benchmarks.

Dependents

These beliefs depend on this one:

• IN cv-nlp-independent-convergence-on-deep-learning — Computer vision and NLP independently converged on deep learning as the dominant paradigm despite opposite data modalities and intellectual traditions — CV evolved through digital image processing and geometric vision before learned representations overtook prior methods, while NLP progressed through symbolic and statistical phases, yet both arrived at the same deep learning destination by the mid-2010s.
• 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).
