Some examples from Deep learning:

AlexNet that started the deep learning revolution. Was there other groups trying to solve Image Net by training convnets on GPU’s in 2009?

OpenAI and the scaling hypothesis. Before chatGPT it was only OpenAI training larger and larger language models.

TRPO, PPO line of RL algorithms invented by John Schulman

In fact I would say, in general a lot of inventions only happen because 1 person or 1 group willed it into existence and it would seem very unlikely for it to happen if that 1 person or group did not exist.

Il sorry to bomb your comment, but I saw on another thread that you followed CMU intro to DL and had a beautiful time doing all the homework.But I didn't find your contact info.

Do you happen to still have the homework questions/solutions somewhere ?

At the moment the new ones are locked behind CMU credentials.

You can find the homework questions in older iterations of the course: https://deeplearning.cs.cmu.edu/S21/index.html

I don’t have any of the code for the solutions.
