Backpropagation Breakthrough
Yann discusses his early contributions to neural networks, particularly the development of the target propagation algorithm. He reflects on the challenges faced in the 60s and 80s, emphasizing the shift from binary to continuous neurons that allowed for gradient backpropagation. A serendipitous meeting with Jeff leads to a collaborative exchange of ideas that shaped the future of deep learning.In this clip
