Together with Yann Lecun and Yoshua Bengio, Geoffery Hinton is referred to as the Godfather of Deep Learning. Hinton is most famously credited for the invention of backpropagation. Author Cade Metz writes in his book Genius Makers that Lecun first developed his idea on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with Hinton during his time in Toronto before the former moved to Bell Labs to give a definitive shape to his idea.
Though widely popular for computer vision applications, CNNs suffers from a fundamental problem – it lacks the creativity of the human mind that it aims to recreate. As mentioned by Hinton during a talk, neural networks should be able to 'generalise effortlessly'. "If they learned to recognise something, and you make it ten times as big, and you rotate it 60 degrees, it
