ImageNet Classification with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
This paper tackles large-scale image classification using deep neural networks, which was challenging at the time due to the massive ImageNet dataset and lack of efficient training methods for deep models.
The authors designed a deep CNN (AlexNet) with 8 layers (5 convolutional and 3 fully connected) and used GPUs for training. They also employed ReLU activations, dropout, and data augmentation.
AlexNet won the ImageNet 2012 competition by a large margin (15.3% top-5 error vs 26.2% for the second best), proving that deep CNNs are highly effective on large-scale data.
Compared to modern standards, AlexNet is large and slow, prone to overfitting on small datasets, and requires careful hyperparameter tuning.
AlexNet and its derivatives (VGG, ResNet) are now ubiquitous in computer vision systems—face recognition, autonomous driving, and robotic perception for object and scene understanding.
