Subscribe Now Editor’s note: This story has been updated to reflect that Yann LeCun’s work touches on ML research previously conducted by German computer scientist Jürgen Schmidhuber.

Three decades ago, Yann LeCun, while at Bell Labs, formalized an approach to machine learning called convolutional neural networks that would prove to be profoundly productive in solving tasks ...

LeCun, who is also a professor at NYU, helped pioneer the convolutional neural network, a type of AI architecture that made use-cases like image recognition possible at unprecedented levels of ...

Y ann LeCun has been a believer in the power of neural networks since long before they were fashionable. In the late 1980s, along with colleagues at Bell Labs, he designed the first neural network ...

The godfather of convolutional neural networks vs. The self-proclaimed savior of humanity LeCun, 63, is a bonafide AI legend, one of the pioneers of deep learning, the groundbreaking technique ...

His vision is far from being comprehensive; indeed, it may raise more questions than it answers. The biggest question mark, as LeCun points out himself, is that he does not know how to build what ...
