The contribution

The system commonly called AlexNet combined a deep convolutional architecture with effective training techniques and GPU computation. Its ImageNet results provided compelling evidence that learned visual representations could improve performance at scale.

What this does not establish

The result was a classification benchmark breakthrough, not proof that the system understood images in the full human sense.

Why this date?

The paper appeared at the 2012 neural information processing conference.
