If someone told me this say, 10 or 20 years ago, I would have assumed this was worthy of a Nobel/Turing prize ...

Early machine learning researchers literally got Nobel Prize last year. Clearly not every incremental step of progress merits a Nobel.

  • Yes! But there is also a delay as 10 or 20 years ago we already had neural nets and I'm curious if people back then thought the concept was Nobel worthy.
