The defining structural lesson of 2010 was that deep learning required the simultaneous alignment of three vectors: data volume (ImageNet), parallel hardware (GPUs), and optimized non-linear activation functions (ReLU). By proving that simple mathematical switches could drastically accelerate deep backpropagation on commodity hardware, the computer science community prepared the global infrastructure for an impending connectionist explosion.
