As all the other responses point out, NNs were red hot back then. The interest in NNs was ignited (in part) by this double volume collection of essays called "Parallel Distributed Processing" edited by Rumelhart and McClelland. Dean even cites them. And, if you read the contributors, it contains many (though not all) of the heavy hitters. Reading back on it, it will sound very familiar. All the amazing breakthroughs: object recognition, handwriting recognition etc all seemed to be there. But all that rapid progress just seemed to stop. There was this quantum leap and then you were back to grinding out for even 0.1% improvement. For those who stuck through the second winter, things obviously paid off. The intro essay is online: https://stanford.edu/~jlmcc/papers/PDP/Chapter1.pdf |
