Talk:AlexNet

Effluence
Spurned or spurred?

Also, the associated reference in 'Influence' (currently '7') doesn't seem to be active (although other pages at that site are).

"AlexNet is considered one of the most influential papers published in computer vision, having spurned many more papers published employing CNNs and GPUs to accelerate deep learning."

And FWIW, I get that this is a stub, but this article has some poor writing and an excess of jargon. ogenstein (talk) 21:48, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Merging with Draft:Alex Krizhevsky
I made a draft called Draft:Alex Krizhevsky. Someone suggested to merge it with the article on AlexNet. I am not sure though how much of the text below should be merged into AlexNet:

Alex Krizhevsky (born in the Ukraine, raised in Canada) is a computer scientist most noted for his work on artificial neural networks and deep learning, in particular, a deep convolutional neural network called AlexNet.

Using his AlexNet, Krizhevsky achieved an image-recognition milestone in the ImageNet challenge 2012 which according to some sources revolutionized the field of computer vision and led to the current AI boom.

Krizhevsky studied at the University of Toronto, where he was advised by professor Geoffrey Hinton. Shortly after having won the ImageNet challenge 2012, he and his colleagues sold their startup DNN Research Inc. to Google.

Krizhevsky left Google in September 2017 when he lost interest in the work. At the company Dessa, Krizhevsky will advise and help research new deep-learning techniques.

Many of his numerous papers on machine learning and computer vision are frequently cited by other researchers.
