In partnership with Google, CHM has released the source code to AlexNet, the neural network that in 2012 kick-started today’s prevailing approach to AI. It is available as open source here. AlexNet is an artificial neural network created to recognize the contents of photographic images. It was developed in 2012 by then University of Toronto graduate students Alex Krizhevsky and Ilya Sutskever and their faculty advisor Geoffrey Hinton. Geoffrey Hinton is regarded as one of the fathers of “deep learning,” the type of artificial intelligence that uses neural networks and is the foundation of today’s mainstream AI. Simple three-layer neural networks with only one layer of adaptive weights were first built in the late 1950s, most notably by Cornell researcher Frank Rosenblatt, but they were found to have limitations. Networks with more than one layer of adaptive weights were needed, but there wasn’t a good way to train them. By the early 1970s, neural networks had been largely rejected by A
