Geoff Hinton Hinton is one of the pioneers of deep learning, and shared the 2018 Turing Award with colleagues Yoshua Bengio and Yann LeCun. In 2017, he introduced capsule networks, an alternative to convolutional neural networks that take into account the pose of objects in a 3D world, solving a problem in computer vision in which elements of an object change their position when viewed from different angles.
