The timing of this shift is informative, since it accords with qualitative evidence about the
surprisingly strong performance of so-called “deep learning” multi-layered neural networks in a
range of tasks including computer vision and other prediction tasks. Supplementary evidence
(not reported here) based on the citation patterns to authors such as Geoffrey Hinton who are
leading figures in deep learning suggests a striking acceleration of work in just the last few years
that builds on a small number of algorithmic breakthroughs related to multi-layered neural
networks.
