- Ian Goodfellow introduces Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) ★★★★
GANs pit a generator network against a discriminator in a minimax game, enabling realistic image synthesis; they dominated generative image modeling until diffusion models around 2021.
- Sequence-to-sequence learning and neural attention ★★★★
Sutskever, Vinyals and Le's seq2seq (LSTM encoder–decoder) and Bahdanau, Cho and Bengio's attention mechanism, both posted in September 2014, made end-to-end neural machine translation work.
