The defining lesson of 2009 was that the decades-old search for the perfect, complex machine learning algorithm was a secondary pursuit. By creating ImageNet and proving that raw, hyper-scale data volume combined with brute-force GPU computing power was the definitive key to unlocking machine intelligence, the computer science community finally found the true catalyst for modern deep learning.
