Geoffrey Hinton, Simon Osindero, and Yee-Whye Teh published a seminal paper introducing a fast learning algorithm for Deep Belief Networks. By stacking layers of Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) and training them sequentially in an unsupervised greedy manner, they solved the historical vanishing gradient problem, proving that deep neural architectures could be successfully trained.
